Honeycomb (aka Newfie) knitted beanie baby

Ken (Gord's son) and Jasmine are having a baby who is due in a couple months.  I knitted a baby beanie today using the Honeycomb (aka Newfie) pattern and they are the colours in the Honeycomb (aka Newfie) mittens I'd given Ken for Christmas.


I used 4 ply yarn and 3.75mm double pointed needles and cast on 66 stitches.
