This
super hip beanie was designed to look so good on either a boy or a
girl (modeled here by my beautiful daughter). The vibrant color of
the ribbing and the top of the hat really pops against the gray and
white chevron stripes that make up the body of the hat. This hat fits
most kids sized 2T-5T, or if your kid has a giant dome like my son,
maybe even an 18 month old!

Weight yarn in three colors, preferably gray and white or black and
