Lighthouse Beanie (EN)

€5.50

The secret of the Lighthouse Beanie lies within its construction. The beanie is worked in a long tube, where you essentially work two beanies that are folded double at the end, making it both super comfortable and warm. If you’re the kind of person who likes a beanie that hugs your ears quite snugly, or you live in a windy place, then this beanie will stay in place while keeping you warm. Take it from me, I’ve personally storm tested it throughout the windy Finnish winter.

I chose a really vibrant reddish orange for this project, and even though I usually prefer a more muted color palette, I have to say this has been my go-to accessory to cheer me up on a gloomy days. This is probably my most worn beanie of all time, and I invite you to choose a color that makes you excited, and maybe take a chance and step out of the box with this one!
