Thoughtful details. Uncomplicated. Timeless. If these aren’t things we want in a knitting pattern, I don’t know what is! This winter has been so frigid and I know that the transition to spring will be a long one still. I wanted a simple hat with a pretty crown shaping to have in my bag to throw on when the chill hit. Meet Pixie — a ribbed beanie with a 4 point crown. She’s fun & functional! And the best part? This is a one skein project — either size can be completed with just one skein of Morehouse Farm bulky. Written for 2 adult sizes.
