My little one is infatuated with the ninja turtles so I have decided to make her a beanie. To get a good fit you do need to measure around the head take the measurement and divide it by pi 3.14. The beanie I'm working on is for a 3-5yr. old with a head of 20" circumference. So the radius of my crown will be 6.36 or rounded off to 6. Here is the pattern. Materials needed.

I have been waiting all summer for the right time to start playing with my yarn. Last fall/winter and part of the spring I was a pretty busy bee on my Ultimate Sweater Machine. If you don't know what it is , it is a home hobby knitting machine. It is easy to assemble and does not need electricity, you put in the muscle. I make some great beanies on it. I can honestly say I have mastered the striped beanie pattern in the book and was comfortable enough to make my own alterations to the pattern. Here are some of the things I was able to do on this machine. These are just a few of what I did on the machine. If you would like a tutorial on how I make them please let me know in the comments. Thanks again and have a great evening. Sandy
