Made for the Cold Beanie Kid's Style! - ELK Studio

So many of you really loved the look of the Made for the Cold Beanie that I made for the hubby, so I decided to make some other sizing including kid’s sizes! I know….I know…. It’s not really my style to design kid sizes, but I really feel like this beanie would be perfect for the little ones that love to play outside since it’s “double layered”.

Hook – G/4.0mm
Tapestry Needle for weaving in the ends.

Abbreviations:
blo – back loop only
ch – chain
dc – double crochet
