The Miriam Beanie was created specifically for the Crochet Challenge hosted by Sweet Potato 3, an event honoring those who deal with cancer and the effects of their treatment.

The Miriam Beanie is lovingly crocheted in pink, symbolizing support for individuals who are either facing or fighting against breast cancer. However, choosing a color to show support for any type of cancer is a meaningful way to raise awareness and show solidarity with those affected by the disease.

The simple construction of the beanie provides just the right amount of soft coverage and gentle warmth. Choose a yarn that’s hypo-allergenic and soft on sensitive skin. The Miriam Beanie is perfect for crocheters of all skill levels and works up quickly.
