Mini me rustic crochet beanie  -pattern (Sizes 12m – adult)

There are so many Mummy & Me hats, dresses and outfits, It got me thinking, where are all the matching hats and outfits for the men and little men in our lives??

This year I am making almost all of my Christmas gifts for my family. I am getting a bit bored of the ol’ shower gel set and Christmas themed socks I seem to fall into the trap of buying each year.

I wanted to make something for my Big brother and Three year old nephew that I knew would get some use out of. I was thinking along the lines of mini man, cool but cute at the same time.

I came up with this rustic beanie for my nephew and then thought, actually, a matching one for his Daddy would be perfect…without the pompom of course -because its more manly (eye roll) I’m sure my brother will appreciate my after thought.

so here it is my chunky Rustic Beanie!
