The quest for the perfect Beanie pattern.

Ok. So I have had a helluva time finding (and not messing up) a beanie for Gf. I've made like four so far in my attempt to make the perfect beanie. I'm starting to believe that there is no such thing. I keep finding that I don't have the right size needles/yarn to make it the right size, or the pattern is written for a smaller head or bigger. I know that it shouldn't be this hard to modify a pattern to fit...but I keep missing the right combination.

So here is attempt number five...

This is a crochet beanie pattern that I found on the internet...pretty simple single crochet pattern... hopefully this time I GET IT RIGHT!
