Hot Springs was inspired by the beautiful hot springs in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. One particular location was hidden deep in the wooded mountains. All that could be seen were the silhouettes of the evergreens standing next to us, and the stars above them. And all that could be heard was the gentle, bubbling waters, and muffled laughter of others. It was a magical experience, and I hope you feel some of that magic in this beanie.

Hot Springs is light and slouchy beanie that is worked seamlessly, in the round. It has just the right amount of lace, making it a great pattern for a seasoned beginner who is looking to give lace a try. It’s quite versatile, and a great beanie for any time of the year!
