Green Credentials Hat

Beanies are a staple head covering in so many different places in the world and it seems that many people have made patterns for beanies and I am no exception. I find them simple to make and like to add interest by using colour, and sometimes different stitches, but mainly colour. That is how this hat came about. I wanted to make it larger so that it fits bigger heads, but would give a slouchy look for those of us with smaller heads.

I decided on the green name as environmental awareness is so important at the moment. So I figured, why not wear it on your head.

My partner kindly agreed to pose as model for this hat and he certainly has a larger head.
