Alpine Nights Beanie
The Alpine Nights Beanie is the companion to my Alpine Nights Super Scarf. I really love how the waffle pattern looks so I decided a hat was in order!
This one is fun, like the scarf it’s easy and works up quickly. I love the way the waffle stitch looks on the main part of the hat and opted to keep the band simple so it would not compete. I added a pompom, but of course you can leave it plain too. Mine is a beanie, but if you added a few more repeats you could make it a slouch. I included a child and adult size that covers a wider range of head sizes. These would make great holiday gifts for someone special!
