Spring showers bring crochet flowers. The Garden Beanie pattern came to me in the thick of winter, when the snow was still falling and my yearning for spring grew bigger and bigger. The Garden Beanie is sure to grab the attention of others. This beanie pattern is an easy one to memorize. It can be worn as a slouch beanie, or you can wear it in a more whimsical way, by allowing the hat to sit and extend upward on your head. I hope you enjoy crafting this beanie, and have an even more enjoyable time wearing it.

• Gauge swatch should be blocked with rows stretched fully to ensure an accurate brim circumference.
