I am so excited to release the Lizzie Bear Beanie, I wanted something simple but with a little bit of a beautiful texture to be the official crochet pattern of the Lizzie Bear Project! Elizabeth is turning two on the 17th and I was originally designing this pattern for newborns but I wanted Elizabeth to have a Lizzie Bear Beanie to wear now. So the pattern includes sizes for all ages and because everybody needs to a bear! If you are making this beanie for the Lizzie Bear Project you will be able to whip up this pattern super quick!
