Once again I made a beanie as a gift, this time it was for my niece that loves hello kitty and some strange obsession with zombies. So i decided to make one for her. Credit given to Etsy's The Fancyhooker for the original idea.
This is the pattern for a child and in half double crochet, you can make it in any size and in any stitch. Overall beanie shape pattern is from Elizabeth Roggasch.
