Love Street is a slightly slouchy beanie, reminiscent of the hippie, bohemian fashion of the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. Love Street was named after the song of the same name by the iconic band The Doors. The song is about the street in Laurel Canyon, California where Jim Morrison lived with his girlfriend, Pamela Courson. The address was 1812 Rothdell Trail, but they called it “Love Street” because they could sit on the balcony and watch the hippies go by… Love Street can be knit in either 4ply or Dk weight and is a quick and easy knit.
