Knit in the round, this jaunty little hat features corrugated ribbing, sweetheart motifs and fun, slightly pointy shaping for when you’re feeling particularly jaunty. It can also be pulled down around the ears for a standard beanie fit. The pattern is written for 3 sizes, child, and adult short and tall versions. There are also 2 versions of the charts with reversed colors for easier knitting.
