Monsoon Day Beanie

Summers in Phoenix are .... toasty.

It puts me in quite the conundrum because so many crochets items are thought of as traditionally Autumn and Winter. Any summer day I will challenge that! Starting with my Pokemon Squirtle project I completed recently.

Buuut, truly deep in my heart I long for cool breezes and crunchy leaves. Lucky for me- Arizona monsoon season is in full effect.Storms blow through so quickly. Barely enough time to, say, whip up a child's beanie! But that did stop me from trying today!





Hello you beautiful 70 degrees. Stay a while won't you?


For this child's beanie I used Whistle & Ivy's Puppy Love pattern. I love this little heart stitch! I wanted an ombre effect so I used pink, variegated, and white yarn.

As if kiddos in beanies isn't hip enough, I made an oversized pom pom for the top.


Thank you pom pom maker!


Boom!


This hat will be up for sale in my Etsy shop. Check it out! 

I was also thinking of doing a sort of "mommy & me" set and adding an adult sized hat. What do you think?
