Make a right royal beanie - just like Archie's!
Published on January 3, 2020
Who spotted Archie's adorable pom pom hat last week?
In the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's New Year's Instagram post, little Archie is wearing the ultimate cute-factor hat - a grey knitted beanie complete with 2 fluffy bobbles. Made by New Zealand's Make Give Live, a social enterprise helping tackle loneliness and mental health, it's inspiring knitters around the world to get behind the bobbles!
Whether you're knitting a bobble hat for your own little one, knitting a hat for a local charity or a preemie baby, everyone deserves their own royal beanie!
