The Active beanie pattern (buy the pattern here) and check out the video of how to sew it here is such a favourite of mine, not only is it a super fast make, it takes next to no fabric, is perfect for scrap busting and makes awesome gifts!
I normally make a bunch of them whenever I’ve cutting out anything merino and then they either go into the cupboard ready to grab before a run or walk or get added to the present box where I keep everything I make all year intended for gifts.
Here are some I made recently, I mixed and matched colours making sure all fabric scraps were utilised to their fullest extent.
Pattern: The Active Beanie by Measure Twice Cut Once
Fabric: merino wool jersey scraps and leftovers
