We love the Bigelow Beanie so much we offering it as a special one-day Saturday workshop happening during our Holiday Open House!

Join us for a fun afternoon where you will cast on for the Bigelow Beanie! This quick and enjoyable project is perfect for beginners and seasoned knitters alike. The Bigelow Beanie is a bulky, stylish knitted hat designed to keep you (or your gift recipient) warm. Let’s knit together and make something special! 



PATTERN DESCRIPTION
Simple texture equals big fun! Designed in Elemental Bulky, the Bigelow Beanie is a cozy hat featuring a moss stitch pattern that consists only of knits and purls. The resulting knit has a great all over texture with a clever 5-point crown decrease. Simple, fun, and FAST! With 3 sizes to choose from, the Bigelow Beanie is an easy and wearable unisex design. It’s a great hat for yourself and great for last minute knit-giving!
