Also finished up today, the first hat for the new year.
Pattern is Gloria’s Knit Beanie found free on the Knots of Love site at this link.
This pattern has been a favorite for a while but I love it even more now that I knit one of them for myself and wear it to keep my bald head warm! I hope whoever gets this one loves it just as much.

This is my favourite go to hat to knit. I kept one for myself and love it as well. So many of the hats that I knit are from the sites you recommend. I keep a hat on my needles at all times. My hats are sent to the Ukraine by a local ministy. There is so much need out there. Thank you for sharing.
Pretty color!
Another purple beanie! Love them! Joy is making something for someone else.
Love the color, and the pretty pattern.
