Voyages Beanie

Hello friends!
Yes, it's that time again! Here is my June pattern for my "Pattern a Month" challenge :-)
The Voyages beanie is fast & easy to make, uses small amounts of yarn so it's a great stash buster!
In 2 different sizes, for men & women, it makes a perfect last minute gift.
Enjoy!
Please Note the pattern has been updated 2nd February 2014, so if you have printed the pattern prior to this date, please reprint the updated version to use in the future :-)
