Hello Friends,

are you ready for spring yet? This week has felt like it actually might be coming soon! It warmed up to 0 degrees C, which feels like so warm after having -35 for weeks! I can’t wait to make all the spring hats and to dress up the girls and actually make their hair! (Without having the full snow gear wreck it all! LOL)

So, in the spirit of spring coming soon, here is your new hat pattern: The Livia!

The Livia features a beautiful swirl, with a cute flower on the top. It is simple to make, with only single crochet stitches, and can easily be adjusted by adding or removing increase rows. Use 100% cotton sport weight yarn to make this perfect breathable Spring hat! I love them for accessorizing outfits. 

All the sizes are written out individually for easy reading. Find your size below:
