Pond Lily Beanie

Product Description

This listing is for just the Pond Lily Beanie and does not include the Pond Lily Shawl. If you would like to purchase both patterns, please note that the listing “Pond Lily Set” will end up being less expensive than purchasing these patterns separately!

This design was worked up for my lovely daughter, who is obsessed with all things frog right now. This design is quite easy and looks so fun when completed. The beanie is worked from the bottom up in the round. It works up quite quickly due to the thickness of the yarn. There is a doubled-over ribbed brim so the total length can be easily adjusted. This is a handy little trick to make gifting simpler! Simply adjust the fold to the needed length of the wearer. This pattern is suitable for an intrepid beginner.
