The secret of the Lighthouse beanie lies within its construction. The beanie is worked in a long tube, which is then folded in on itself at the end, making it both super comfortable and warm. If you’re the kind of person who likes a beanie to hug the ears quite snugly or you live in a windy place, then this beanie will sit tight and keep you warm. Take it from me, I’ve personally storm-tested it throughout the windy Finnish winter!

I chose a vibrant reddish orange for this project, and although I usually prefer a more muted colour palette, I admit this has been my go-to accessory to cheer me up on a gloomy day. It’s probably my most worn beanie of all time – I encourage you to choose a colour that gets you excited. Take a chance and step out of the comfort zone with this one!
