Paula and Paula - Knitting pattern set of matching hats

Paul and Paula: a set of matching hats. Each one is individual and yet they belong together.

The set includes two different patterns (two pdf-files), one for Paula and another one for Paul.

The Paula hat is a loose-fitting beanie, with a narrow, ribbed brim, designed to sit on the head comfortably without interfering with the hairstyle.

The Paul hat is also in beanie format, simply styled and easy to knit. The brim is wide enough to be folded over, if desired.

The patterns are easy to follow and to memorize, and are worked in slipped stitches, meaning only one color is worked at a time.
