  6. Thank you so much for your Charlie Beanie hat patterns. The sizes 1-3 yrs and 4-10yrs are my favourite go-to patterns when knitting for charity. I have knitted dozens of them and they always look lovely. The rib look allows for extra growth and is an easy pattern to knit without too much concentration needed with four stocking stitch rows and two 2x2 rib row to make the pattern. I highly recommend. I use 30g for the yrs 1-3 pattern though, rather than the 22-25g in the published pattern. Once again, thank so much, from Anne in New Zealand.
