Never Not Knitting Molly Beret PDF

The Molly Beret from Never Not Knitting is fun to knit and fun to wear with its lace brim and colorful stripes. Since the pattern is offered in sizes ranging from baby to adult, this is a hat that everyone in your family can enjoy. Molly calls for a fingering weight alpaca which results in a warm, lightweight piece but this hat could also use up those leftover sock yarns. Work Molly in a solid color for a more conservative style or stripe randomly for a look all your own! The lace pattern is both charted and written out.
