Options are also included for either a beanie or slouchy fit in addition to chart options for leaves or tulips, depending on your seasonal or personal preference! Top if off (or not) with a fuzzy pom or one of your own making (instructions included). Colorwork is charted. Pattern features a tubular CO and instructions are provided, but if crochet hooks aren’t your friend, you may certainly use a standard CO instead.
