Happy Spring!

In support of the 2016 MN Yarn Shop Hop, please enjoy this beaded hat pattern, free through April 30th.

Thank you for your contributions to the MN Food Shelves.

The bead placement pattern matches the Happy Hoppin’ Cowl 2014 and the Happy Hoppin’ Hands, fingerless mitts pattern from last year. If you knit all three patterns, you’ll have a set. It’s so easy to add beads to your knitting with this technique. Why not give it a try?

Size 7 16” circular needles
Size 8 16” circular needles
Size 8 double pointed needles

260 Size 6/0 round TOHO seed beads
Bead stringing materials - floss threader & mat.
Stitch marker
Yarn needle

Beads are available at many of the LYSs and online at: http://www.bobbybead.com

Enjoy & Happy Hoppin’!
