Inspired by the Light

The Frosted Lily Hat was inspired by the hope and beauty of light. The lustrous sheen of silk. The subtle sparkle of a glass bead as it catches the light. Designed for the frosty days of early Spring, this light-weight, feminine beanie features a timeless Lily-of-the-Valley motif, plus a delicate seed border to remind us that frost is not an end, but simply a rest…followed by the light of new beginnings.

Note
Juniper Moon Farm Moonshine is classified as “Worsted”, however I find it a bit thicker than this--closer to“Aran”. As always, whether using the specified yarn, or an alternate, make sure you “get gauge” before beginning.
