Venice ~ PDF knitting pattern

This is a very simple beanie hat, sized to fit a toddler through to large adult. Made from 100% merino wool, it promises to keep the coldest of heads cosy!

Instructions are written for knitting flat or to work in the round. Beginning at the hem, you will work a few rows/rounds straight before beginning the crown shaping.

Rowan’s super chunky weight Drift or Big Wool makes this a really speedy knit on 10mm needles.
