Anyone else feel like 2021 has just been a blur? like it was just spring last month and now we are entering Fall. The holidays are right around the corner and I am so not remotely ready for that. My goal for the year has been to put less expectations on myself, because I can so often be own worst enemy. That is likely why you haven’t seen as many patterns from me this year. I felt like I was putting unrealistic expectations on myself and it was just burning me out. Patterns take a lot of work to design, make and release and I want each one to be my best work. I like all of my patterns to cater to everyone’s learning styles weather that is in a written pattern or video tutorial. So I am trying to prioritize quality over quantity. Plus having a lot of personal changes usually puts a wrench in my plans for patterns. So my suggestion to everyone these days is give yourself grace.
Last year the Harvest Beanie was a paid pattern through Furls and only available for a limited time. Well! this year I am bringing you the written pattern for FREE as well as a video tutorial. This pattern is beginner friendly and it’s a great pattern to use some of that beautiful hand dyed yarn you’ve had laying around for years. Or you can use a cozy Wool/ Alpaca blend like I did from

The brim is first worked flat then the 2 ends are joined, you then continue by working the bottom half of the hat body in color A and then changing to color B for the top half of the hat.
