The Nic Beanie
I've not yet had anybody test this pattern although I've made it myself. Please understand that there may be mistakes. If you decide to try the pattern and have any comments I'd be happy to hear them as well as any mistakes that might be found.
My son began wearing a beanie I made for him when he was in high school. It has become an extension of him! When he went to college he requested a new beanie in his school colors.
I've now lost count of how many beanies I have made for his friends but I love doing it! I've modified my pattern many times and I think this is the best.
