Beanies were the second thing I learned to knit after scarves. It’s about the easiest thing you can do as at its simplest only involves knitting, purling, and decreasing.

But I have always coveted those ear flap beanies. They look so cute and warm and comfy – perfect for someone who feels the cold. So this time around, I knitted a purple one for myself.

Then hubby said he wanted one to wear when he’s outside in the field, so he got a blue one.

Pattern is here. It’s all very easy and quick – it took me all of 3 nights to finish one. What are you working on at the moment?
