I made this beanie the first time out of some leftover Knit
Picks yarn I had laying around. My hubby, who has a bald
head, gets incredibly cold, and is
always begging me for new hats. I
whipped this one up in a couple of
hours. Inspired by how fast and
cheap it was to make, I made a
whole bunch of them as
Christmas gifts! The pattern calls
for a skein of Wool of the Andes
Coal and Wool of the Andes
Tulip, but you can use any Wool
of the Andes scrap that you have
laying around for the contrasting
stripe!
