Mirror Pond Beanie (and Headband)

The Mirror Pond Beanie is a quick knit using two colors that are knit in the round. The pattern is easy to follow and uses star stitch as well as slipped stitches. The pattern is written in three sizes - child, teen/adult, and large adult. It is easily adaptable with a four stitch repeat. The pattern also includes a headband pattern similar to the beanie. Super bulky yarn is needed in two colors, approximately 40 yards of each. There is the option to add a second light bulky or worsted to the star stitch rows for added color and texture variation. Size US 11 / 8mm and US 13 / 9mm are used. While a pom pom can be added to complete the beanie, it is not needed as it has a defined crown that suitable without a pom.
