AMMONITEbeanie
AMMONITE is the perfect everyday beanie that brings a pop of color to somber winter
days. I chose the name AMMONITE for this beanie because the circular crown decreases
reminded me of the beautiful nacre shell of those fascinating creatures.
The 100% alpaca yarn used for this Brioche hat is one of the most amazing ones I have
ever used. It is super soft and squishy and I just can't stop touching it. The simple
design with the fold-up brim makes the beanie very warm and a perfect addition to
every outfit. I would love to make one in every color or even try two-colored Brioche on
this one.
