KISS Bulky Beanies

A friend's NEW YEAR's goal: Learn to knit!!   I have designed the KISS Bulky Beanies to work with her in meeting that goal.    KISS Bulky Beanies work well in a bulky acrylic or superwash wool blend. The pattern offers the choice of Rolled Brim, Ribbed Brim or Ribbed KISS Bulky Beanies. The beanies can be knit in just a few days making perfect gifts, accessories, or for charity. This may be considered a beginner/advanced beginner level pattern because knowledge of hat
and stitch construction are helpful.
