Zoo kids beanie

August, Holidays!
The perfect time for a trip to the zoo!
And here is the matching kids beanie (suits baby to toddler).
I chose the most popular animals.. giraffes, elephants and a little lion. More animals would not have fit on the hat :)
The bigger version also features a band of trees (which can not be seen in the picture). Picture shows size XS.

It has a two color ribbing (imitating the white fence color), a band of giraffes, a band of elephants holding each others tail and cute little lion babies on top! And some fences inbetween and a fence like finish.

Due to the many color changes this little hat is a bit more demanding. However it has at most two colors in one round. So you might give it a try. It's easier than you think. Weaving in the new yarns and yarn tails during knitting will save you a lot of sewing time afterwards.

I knitted it with 4-ply Acrylic yarn (Buttinette Versailles 50g/196 m) in the smallest size XS and 3.0 mm needles. You can also use any similar
