KISS the Baby Beanies


With a new grandchild arriving this spring, it is time to design a set of new beanies!   
KISS the Baby Beanies work well in a DK acrylic or superwash wool blend. The pattern offers the choice of Rolled Brim, Ribbed Brim or Ribbed KISS the Baby Beanies. The beanies can be knit in just a few days making perfect gifts, accessories, or for charity. This may be considered an advanced beginner/ intermediate level pattern because knowledge of hat (and stitch) construction are helpful.
