Quick and Easy BRIMMED Beanie for Men
This pattern has been such a long time coming. I got the yarn last September and fell in love right away, this pattern whipped up so quickly! I made the original Quick and Easy Beanie for Men and knew immediately I wanted to make a Brimmed version! It turned out exactly how I hoped and I think I love it more than the original.
Like the original, this pattern comes in four sizes from Toddler to Men’s Large.
I didn’t have a chance to have any good photos taken until October and then we moved across the country before I had a chance to finish typing up the pattern.
Fast forward to March, we were finally getting settled living in my sister’s basement, house plans finishing up to start building our new house, and I finally sat down, typed up the pattern and had some amazing testers help me perfect it and as soon as I was getting ready to post it here on my blog, Covid-19 hit. It’s been a scary, crazy roller coaster since then.
Thankfully my friends and family have been healthy and my husband kept his job. However, we couldn’t get a building permit for our house, and we really wanted to get our own place. The Lord was so good to us, because the house across the street from our acreage came up for sale! We’ve since bought and moved into that house, it is so cute and perfect and we couldn’t be happier.
We’re finally settled enough that I found my laptop and set aside time to post this pattern for you all! I hope you love it as much as I do!
