YOOOO!!!
Fall is approaching as are the days of dreary and gloom weather while sitting inside with a project being created in my lap. One of my favorite accessories in the cool temperatures is a handmade beanie, and the Fold Over Brim Beanie is definitely a must-have for your closet, and now you can find the pattern FREE right here on THNLife Blog! Woot woot!
Not only is this pattern now available at no cost to you, but I have also conveniently curated a crochet kit listing in THNLife Shop so you can order the yarn, PDF pattern, AND a printed/laminated copy of the pattern so you can use your dry erase markers as you take notes while making progress.
