I know it’s been a bit longer than I expected to post this pattern, but here it is! I give you……
This beanie is just too cute for words. ;)
King of Babies Lion Beanie
Note: This beanie started life as a Bernat Bear Baby Beanie. I have changed the yarn size, and thus, most of the pattern because of it.
Size: 18 months
