Elanor Beanie Knitting Pattern

I wanted a simple hat for my newborn that would keep her head warm in our cold Wisconsin winters and also have the flexibility to grow with her as she gets older. Nothing provides this kind of warmth and size flexibility like a good 2x2 ribbing, so this simple hat was born. With elevated details like a tubular cast-on and mirrored crown decreases, this simple child’s hat is a quick knit that will keep the head of the little one in your life warm and grow with them.
