The Rosa Beanie is an easy advanced beginner repeating pattern that can be made in child or adult size and can be customized to be snug or slouchy. I created this pattern because I loved how the reverse side of the hdc cluster resembled pink ribbons and the puffs were like little kisses of snow throughout.

Below is the free version of the Rosa Beanie in the small child size. You can also find the full Rosa Beanie pattern with all the child and adult sizes included in the paid pdf in my Ravelry store.
