This Churchmouse Classroom First Projects pattern will teach you to work in the round using two different methods. For the beanie, you’ll begin with a short circular needle, and as you begin to decrease for the crown, you will need to change to double-point needles which is great practice for the stylish handwarmers! Ribbing is very stretchy, so sizing your beanie is quite forgiving. Also, included in the pattern are photo tutorials to help you along the way.
