Pattern of the Week: Ardvasar from Lucy Hague
Check out this stylish, unique, beanie-like hat! So cute, right? This great pattern comes from Scottish knitter Lucy Hague, who named it after a village in Scotland. I can’t decide what I like best—the chic, slouchy shape; the textured knitting, or the adorable tie in the back.
