They all wanted me to knit them one but I said no for 2 reasons.  One – My daughter wanted to have the ONLY one!!  Two – The little charms cost me a FORTUNE! LOL She wore the hat for years and years!  I don’t know what finally happened to it but it definitely had a very long life and was absolutely worth the cost!

I, too, made similar beanies for 3 older grandchildren in each of their favorite colors, using 2 thin strands of yarn for one of the beanies. I added  a monetary gift inside the beanies, which was their Christmas gifts.

I’m sure your cousin will love it (and so will I!!). I think, though, since I’m really into flowers right now, I might add a small sangria-and-charcoal flower to the side. So super cute! And a matching cowl is an excellent idea.
