  6. I'm new to knitting and this was my first pattern to follow after using tutorials to learn how to knit. Thankyou for a lovely and easy pattern to follow.

    This might seem like a silly question. Is the purl side the outside of this beanie?

    1. Glad you enjoyed the pattern :)
      The knit side is the right side - but there is almost no difference in this particular design.
