Solace Beanie

Like many people, I faced significant challenges during the Covid Pandemic of 2020. The inability to gather with family and friends was especially tough for me. As someone in a high-risk group, I found myself staying home for around four months—an adjustment that was particularly difficult for someone who thrives on being active and on the go! However, like countless others during this trying period, I discovered great comfort in my crafts. I took the opportunity to make scrubs for the NHS, sew face masks for my family, and spin up several kilos of fleece. Yet, what has always brought me the most solace in challenging times is my love for knitting. One particular sleepless night, I found myself sketching out a variety of new knitting ideas, ultimately leading to the creation of this delightful hat and its matching gloves. These designs are the first to be released from my recent inspiration, and I couldn’t be more excited to share them with you! I hope that you can find the same comfort and joy in these knitting projects as I did during the pandemic. Whether you are a seasoned knitter or just starting out, this pattern is designed to inspire creativity and provide a sense of accomplishment. Embrace the art of knitting and experience the therapeutic benefits it brings. Find peace and comfort in your own crafting journey!
