With spring on its way, we need a lightweight beanie! This one fits the bill. It is light, drapey, and breathable. The large needles paired with the looser stitch make for a perfect early spring hat.

Sitting in a hotel in Burlington Vermont, I was inspired to make a new pattern. I was itching to use the yarn I had gotten the day prior at a local yarn shop; a beautiful skein of dusty purple speckled with pink spots and streaks of dark plum.
