These lovely yellow flowers outside my window have kept me company this season, often bringing me hope and cheer at a time when both of those are much needed. So when I spotted an identical yellow in my stash I knew I had to make this!

What we all need now is some sunshine. Grab your brightest yarn and cast on for this cheerful and quick hat! Throw in some bobbles! Or not – leave out the bobbles and add a pompom. However you decide to go about it, this one will be done in no time and is sure to bring you some cheer!
