Looking for a lovely lace beanie hat pattern for children? This new *free* one ball pattern by Ashlee Lackovic has you made in the shade!
This month I got to play with Amano’s remarkably soft yarn Ayni. It is made with alpaca and silk and I have to say this yarn is amazing!! The copper colour way reminds me of summer days and sunshine, which is perfect because its summer!!
When designing this beanie I instantly thought of someone who brings me sunshine daily, my little girl, so the sunshine hat is inspired by her smile!
This child beanie shows off this simple lacy stitch beautifully. Not only is it perfect for the summer months , this would a wonder fall project as well. Best of all, It only take one skein!
