Perennial

When spring arrives, a perennial plant once dormant, will grow and bloom once again. 

I am so pleased to share with you my newest pattern design, Perennial, which

 captures the beauty of new spring growth with a sprouting plant motif growing up one side.

The great thing about this little hat is that it only requires 125 yards of worsted weight yarn making it a great one-skein, stash-busting project! 

As with most of my patterns, both written and charted instructions are included to accommodate different knitting styles.

Modeling and photography provided by the beautiful Julie Crawford of knittedbliss.com.
