Rolled Spice Cake Beanie (knit)

Sister Sister

I made a "sister beanie" to the SUGAR & SPICE BEANIE FOR A BUN (KNIT). This one has a rolled brim that uses a smaller set of needles before changing to a bigger set of needles to keep it from stretching out too much. The pom is optional but really tops off the hat nicely.

Twinning but Different

The hat was sent off with the beanie for a bun and a "carrot cake with cream cheese frosting" cowl (similar to "WINTRY SUNSHINE COWL (CROCHET)") as a "just because" gift. Some times people just need a little pick-me-up, a little cozy, a little something.
