Alright friends, day two means another pattern! Okay so not normally, but today I had another one ready for you sooooo here is my Free Crochet Pattern, the Juniper Beanie. I designed this because I wanted a simple beanie that really showed off Woolspun in the hopes that Lion Brand wouldn’t take it away from us. That did not work. Lb, please, for the love of at least 10 of us, bring back woolspun.
I digress.

Pattern Notes
- Please read all notes and directions before starting the pattern.
- This pattern is worked in back and forth rows for the band and joined rounds for the hat.
- Chain stitches at the beginning of each round do not count as a stitch.
- I do a ch 1 instead of a ch 2 for this design because the ch 2 left a weird gap. You can do a ch 2 if that works better for you, but still do not count it.
- Stitch count for each round will be at the end in ()
