Who doesn’t need a memory of a warmer time when the shortest days of the year come rolling in? Pink Lemonade will remind you of warmer times, the clink of ice cubes, the joy of fresh citrus, the pleasure of being warm. Squishy and simple it’s the perfect hat to help you stay sunny through winter.

About the piece:
Knit using 2 colours of a worstedweight yarn, this hat knits up in a flash! The squishy and elastic nature of the fabric makes it a great choice for when you want your hat to look cute but also stay on!

Using an intuitive decrease pattern that doesn’t mess with your beautiful lemons, Pink Lemonade is sharp, geometric and anything but sour!

I chose a yarn with a pretty unique blend, I found the alpaca and wool were a great combination for the squishiest hat possible. Any wool blend or pure wool yarn would be a great choice for this hat.
