Jacob Beanie

This was inspired by ['Inga'][1] hat by Sheila Macdonald - I wanted a shorter hat, with a smaller pattern and more decreases for the top. I knit three different versions using three different yarns - my own handspun Jacob for mark 1 (hence the name of the beanie!), Fiesta Ballet handpainted alpaca/tencel for Jacob mark 2 and a standard pure wool DK for Jacob mark 3 - three different results. Have fun.

This design has been kindly donated to Médecins Sans Frontières as part of the p/hop project. p/hop is pennies per hour of pleasure, so please feel free to use this pattern, then donate what you think it was worth to you to MSF.
