The Prairie Beanie is knitted seamlessly in the round on circular knitting needles, bottom up, first starting with a prominent ribbing (directions are provided within the pattern to make the ribbing two different ways), and then by knitting upward toward the top. The stitch work required for the body of The Prairie Beanie is very simple, and only involves easy knitted increases and decreases, making this the perfect pattern for beginners. You'll be shocked by how simple it is to create these faux-cables! The top pom pom is made by hand, and the pattern even comes with a step-by-step photo tutorial to show you how to make the pom pom (which is also very easy). The Prairie Beanie works up at lightening speed and can easily be knitted in a day, making it the perfect last-minute gift, stocking stuffer, or to use for market prep.

Yes, absolutely! All finished items made from Darling Jadore patterns may be sold, so long as clear credit has been given to Darling Jadore™ on your website and/or social media account (if shown and sold there). I love when customers tell me they buy patterns for "market prep", meaning that they will make a lot of the items in bulk and eventually sell them in fall and winter markets and festivals, or in their Etsy shop, etc. In fact, some of our customers' favorite market-prep items to knit include The Avalon Beanie, The Lakewood Beanie, The Halston Scarf, and The Cappuccino Mitts -- so check those out if you want to stock up for market season!
