Reversible Merino Beanie tutorial

As promised, here's the tutorial for making your own reversible beanie pattern - get it ready for winter!

I used this basic pattern and adapted from there.

Follow the instructions until you have made the basic outline of the hat (the To Assemble) instructions.  Your hat will look like this. 



Then follow the same instructions for your 'lining' of the hat but make sure you leave a gap in the side seam as  below.







Next put the hats inside each other, right side to right side and pin along the bottom raw edge and sew the whole way around




Then, pull the inside hat out through the opening in the lining.





Sew up the whole in the lining (making sure you are as close to the edge as possible)  Then push the lining inside of the outside hat.





If you wish, add a line of stop stitching along the edge to finish it and you are done!





Pretty neat eh!

'Till next time, Melissa
