Blue skies, green grass, and bright, cheery spring flowers inspired me to create this “Daisy Chains and Laughs” crochet beanie! It is versatile in sizing, and the color combination possibilities are endless. Add a butterfly or bumblebee pin, or buttons for a finishing touch! The young and young- at- heart will get lots of smiles while wearing this “Daisy Chains and Laughs” beanie this spring and summer!
