Michael Beanie - Free Crochet Pattern

Hello all. Another beanie pattern today. I've been on a bit of a roll with hats recently so I hope you don't get sick of them all. I know a lot of you have been holding out for some newborn sized patterns, so Im going to try, where possible, to do these hats in prem sizes and then in newborn. Some might not work but I'll deff see how I go at getting some more sizes for you. Id like to go back through all the other patterns and do the same thing, time permitting.

This is a multi size pattern.
