MiniPix Pattern
The MiniPix Beanie is a simple, lightweight beanie made just for kids! This is the mini version of my Pixie Beanie without the flop. I have included instructions for both Worsted and Super Bulky Light. I wanted a lightweight beanie for fall and spring, and something really warm for winter, but still cute and comfy!
This pattern was written for Manos del Uruguay, Maxima. A couple other similar yarns are Malabrigo Mecha and Malabrigo Worsted, but keep in mind that the hat measurements will be slightly smaller with these yarns.
This pattern comes with instructions for Super Bulky Light as well. I used Baah Yarn Sequoia.
This pattern includes sizes 0-9 yrs. for Maxima (worsted weight) and 0-12 yrs. in Super Bulky Light.
Materials :
Worsted
One skein of Manos del Uruguay Yarn in Maxima. This is a 100% Merino Wool, it is a single ply worsted/Aran weight yarn.
You will use 50 yds for the smallest size and 92 yds for the largest size.

Super Bulky Light
One skein of Super Bulky Light Yarn. I used Baah Yarn Sequoia which is 100% Superwash Merino Wool. It is Artisan Hand Dyed.
