I would follow the regular path of growing,especially if the beanies are fem,photo or auto.....Definitely would try some beanies that don't cost anything or much..just to get it under your belt, you will need something that doesn't grow too big and you could train ,especially if you're doing beanie to toking a meanie..hehe...in that system...I found something online you may have read or not....
