Knitting pattern 'Lotti' Beanie

A cute and cosy children’s hat with adorable ears.
There are two options for the brim, the pattern and the ears, which means that you can mix and match and make a few different beanies from just one pattern.
The perfect opportunity to knit hats for several heads and/or play around with all the possibilities.
The pattern is beginner friendly. The instructions are very detailed and include photo tutorials for the three needle bind off and to show you how the ears are shaped.
The yarn is held double, which creates a cosy and warm beanie.
Have fun knitting!
