This is so cute I could make hundreds of them in different colours. The pattern is really easy to follow and knits up fairly quickly. It is a great way for beginner so to learn knitting in the round and the benefit of this is there is minimal sewing at the end and no visible seam. I really like the matching headband but the pattern for it is not here, I did find some similar patterns on this site so will use one of those in matching yarn.

Hello zoby99! It seems as if the designer has removed the pattern instructions from her blog. We will contact the designer to see if we are able to obtain the instructions and keep you posted. Thank you for your patience. -Editors of AllFreeKnitting
