The Perfect Basic Beanie (for every head) Free pattern!

**Pictures Coming!**
So, I've been knitting for years ---YEARS!--- and hand on my heart, I swear to Bob that I have just this week figured out a simple and easy *perfect* basic beanie pattern. The trouble with me and beanies is I always seem to end up with a much bigger hat than I really want. I mean, a slouchy beanie is cute and definitely in right now, but sometimes a girl needs a little more warmth on her noggin, know what I mean? I'm talking coziness here, people.

Ice Breaker Games: Ball Toss

This game will get students up out of their seats and encourage some healthy competition! Great for first day of class or workshop, as well as a good tool to reinforce new information.

Participants toss a ball to each other in a pattern.
Good for: Middle School, High School, Adults

Indoor or outdoor, standing in place
Maximizes energy and concentration
Facilitates getting to know each other, vocabulary development

Materials needed:
  • 2 - 3 small, light balls (think whiffle ball or plastic ball filled with air from Dollar Tree; DON'T use a baseball, or any kind of ball that would really hurt if you caught it in the face)
Set up:
  • Ask the group to get into a circle-ish form, where everyone can see everyone else easily. There should preferably be nothing within the circle that people can trip over or bump into if they're moving around. Be a part of the circle to help demonstrate the game as the facilitator.
