Our sweet little girl, Audrey is a huge inspiration for me when it comes to creating patterns.

Her love for all the things I make is also a huge reason that I keep doing what I do.  A few months back when I first created the Fireside Beanie, she got extremely excited to wear one with me.

A bit too big for her little head, it looked more ridiculous than anything but it was all I needed to convince me to make a size that would be perfect for her.

So here we are with 3 additional sizes (in baby, toddler and child) of the Fireside Beanie, making it the perfect pattern for a Mommy & Me set.

For additional help on creating these hats, check out the free step-by-step picture tutorial on our blog post here.  It also gives a break down of how to work each stitch used in this beanie.
