IBGHD 2019 Day 28 The Ruby Robinson Beanie



Hello hello!  Welcome to day 28. Eee so close to the end of the month! I hope everyone is travelling well.

Today's pattern is a super easy worked flat ribbed beanie. This is probably the most basic beanie a beginner could make, so if you are new to crochet and want to have a crack, this is the one to start with :) This beanie will fit a bub of 32 weeks gestation.

This pattern is in remembrance of Ruby Robinson.
