Lovebirds, lovebirds, oh how sweet you are! This new hat design is sized from Baby to Adult and is worked from the bottom up using three fibers: a fingering weight held with lace for a gorgeous halo alongside a colorchanging handspun. Feel free to go sport weight yarn by itself if doubling isn’t you’re thing! View my awesome test crew projects here.
