I was inspired to create the Ripple-icious Beanie after seeing the gorgeous colorways from Mitchell’s Creations that I used in my sample (main photo). The hues are bold, bright and so fun together that I wanted to design a hat that had an awesome, playful vibe to match. The result was this pattern, which creates mesmerizing ripples with an almost 3-D effect. What colors will you choose to create your Ripple-icious Beanie?
