We’ve all walked by these Caron x Pantone yarns and felt them and daydreamed about those color combos….you know what I’m talking about.  They feel so luxurious and soft and …. I had to buy 2 to play with!  I’ve since bought many more….

So in true ‘Ohana fashion, I started with a hat!  A simple beanie to get the feel of the yarn …. and it’s fabulous! This beanie showcases the colors in these yarn collections well and my customers love the simple pattern. You can also make yourself some of my wrist warmers in matching colors!! That pattern can be found HERE free as well. Your lucky day!

These hats are easy to customize with a wooden button; I like to buy locally made wooden buttons here in Oregon by local artists to put on the hats so my customers have a good story to tell 🙂

I generally start with the lighter color and work through the colors as they’re stacked. You don’t have to do it that way, I just know that women who wear make up usually don’t want white next to their face … it dirties quickly.

So here is my basic beanie pattern that I use with these, head on over to Michaels and pick up some of this gorgeous yarn and let’s get started!

Pull yarn through stitch to tighten and cut, weave in ends

Cinch magic ring tail inside hat and lace it around a stitch to double not and secure your cinch, weave in ends

Sew on button as desired
