The Lavender Beanie is meant to be a quick project that is stylish and unisex. I wanted something that looked great with or without a pom and was fitted.
I chose to call it the Lavender Beanie because the texture reminded me of the tall thin flowers and also because lavender is suppose to be a calming and soothing herb and I felt like that was a good vibe I wanted to send with this design.
The pattern calls for a worsted yarn. I used Scheepjes Stone Washed XL in the color Black Onyx to create this hat. The lighter stripes of grey running through the black yarn meant I got a black color without losing the texture of the pattern. I topped it off with a black faux fur pom to continue the theme. I’m just obsessed with this monochrome look!
The pattern calls for an I/9/5.5 mm hook and also includes gauge and measurements so you should have no problem getting the perfect size. This hat takes very little yarn, works up quickly and the pattern includes infant to adult sizes so that it’s truly a hat for anyone!
Like I said, obsessed with the look of this hat in matching/basic colors so I also made up this cream colored version. Again, the subtle changes in color let you add interest without losing any of the texture of the stitches. I can’t get enough of this look! I used some hand dyed wool that has been just waiting for the perfect project.
