Watermelon Beanie
The watermelon beanie is my Newborn Beanie Gem pattern made for larger sizes and with a different way to finish. For this hat you can use the finish shown below or you can finish it off the same as the Newborn Beanie Gem or A Pumpkin Hat.. This adorable little hat would also match any of my Little Miss Dresses.
