A very feminine and soft beanie that is quite fashionable and best of all - easy and fast to make and you can stash dive. The hat requires 130 yards each fingering weight and mohair lace and will be held together throughout the pattern. It is an intermediate knit but a great pattern for an adventurous advanced beginner. With a cute Wildflower Knot Stitch and a bit of beading and touch of mohair - combine them together and you have a timeless accessory you can wear anytime, day or night. If you have never beaded your knits, don’t be intimidated, it’s an easy little trick. Once you try it you will want to add a bit of sparkle to all your knits!
