The Bright Beanie is named after the beautiful Gippsland Alpine town of Bright, in North-Eastern Victoria. Instead of visiting family and friends in the USA as expected in July 2020, we planned a short family getaway to this picturesque town and decided to spend some time in our own state. Bright is a lovely town that is particularly lush during Autumn, with its shades of red, orange, and yellow leaves lining the streets. I designed this simple beanie that will look great in any shade and pairs beautifully with a big, fluffy pom pom.

Because ISO life stinks, this pattern is 100% free, forever, for your enjoyment/boredom busting/frustration venting!
