Last week I shared my Sunflowers Scarf pattern with you all and this week we have the matching beanie. Inspired by Van Gogh's famous painting, I hope this will add some sunshine to your life. Crocheted in 100% new wool, this hat will keep your head cosy even in the coldest weather.

Other notes: US terms throughout. Drops Alaska is a 100% new wool. Each 50g ball contains
approx. 77 yds (70 m) and is hand wash only. When substituting yarn be sure to choose one with a
similar gauge. When starting the first ps, pull up a loop to the height of the st, this looks more
seamless than chaining 2 to start.
