What little boy wouldn't love this fun little beanie with little cars that drive around it...Toot Toot!
These picture knits are worked flat and seamed for easy intarsia knitting. If you are a new knitter and not quite ready to work in intarsia this time, you can turn this pattern into a simple project by Swiss darning (duplicate stitching) the little cars onto your beanie after knitting.
