27. Hayden Newborn Beanie



Good morning lovelies and welcome to day 27!
Ohh I actually love the number 27! It's my birthday number (of course, that's back in May, but still!) I also LOVE today's pattern!

The Hayden Beanie, is a little unique, in that it's made bottom up! That's right, we make the band first. Now, I know that sometimes counting rows, especially lots of them, can be a right pain, but I use this handy page to keep track! Row Counter is an awesome and simple site, just input your number of rows needed and off you go! So much easier to keep track!
