Originally designed as the workshop pattern for Camp Knit-A-Way 2026 with Row House, this is the perfect quick gift knit project. Beading is done as you go, so there’s no need for pre-stringing. Almost the entire group finished the hat within 24 hours!

Create the beaded flower with complimentary beads, change it up to high contrast, or do what a few of the students did and make the center in differently colored beads than the petals.
