Rebel Soul Beanie

The Rebel Soul Beanie is a super luxurious beanie worked with a wide brim that folds up twice for extra warmth and softness. The name is an invitation to embrace the inner rebel and go for a color that truly speaks to you, that could either be a bright pop of color to help you nudge yourself out of your color comfort zone. Or, maybe you’re really craving a toned down color in a soft beige or cream but are hesitant because you always choose the same shades for your projects - well this is the time to listen to whatever speaks to your color loving heart and follow that intuition all the way! The beanie is worked bottom up on 4 mm (US6) needles with one strand of merino together with one strand of silk mohair to give it a subtle fuzzy sheen. Sizes: One size.
