As promised here is the pattern for the beanie.
I did the smallest size with an 8 ply wool. When it was finished it would easily fit a 2-5 year old, it is quite stretchy and the band can be rolled down to give extra length as they grow.
Using 4mm needles cast on 93 (93,103,113) stitches.
1st row - K1 *P1, K1 repeat from * to end
2nd row - P1 *k1, P1 repeat from * to end
Repeat the last 2 rows for 6.5cm finishing on a 2nd row and decreasing 1 stitch at each end of last row. 91 (91,101,111)
Change to 5mm needles.
1st row - (Right side) Knit
2nd row- K1 *P1, K1 below repeat from * to last 2 stitches P1, K1
These 2 rows form the pattern.
Continue in pattern until work measures 17.5 (19,20.5,21.5) cm's from beginning finishing on a wrong side row. If you like a deeper hat you can add an extra cm for length here.
Next row - (Dec row) K3tog *K5tog repeat from * to last 3 stitches K3 tog.
19 (19,21,23)stitches
Thread yarn through remaining stitches, draw up firmly and fasten off.
To make up join back seam by backstitching omitting rib. Join rib by top sewing reversing seam for turnback.
The pattern says to add a pom pom by attaching it to the crown but I left mine plain.
Where it says knit below - insert right hand needle into next stitch one row below and knit it.
