The Knit Orchard Beanie works up super fast since you will be using a Super Bulky weight yarn. I will be giving you the pattern instructions for the Small/Average size adult head (21-22″). The PDF pattern gives access to sizes baby through large adult.
One of the best parts about this hat is the simplicity. I love when something simple looks more complex than it is. All skill levels are going to be able to work with this hat. If you can knit and purl, you’ve got this.
