Little Tendril is a stockinette beanie with a pretty botanical touch. It is a quick knit in worsted weight yarn, and watching the tendril sprout makes it hard to put down your needles. Instructions are provided for four sizes and your choice of brim - single, folded or double.

With the generous yardage of Miss Babs Intrepid, you can easily knit a matching pair of beanies for parent and child, or two young friends or siblings.
