Mini Guimauve Beanie

This product is only for the pattern in PDF format.

CONCEPT

Inspired by my grandmother… Read the story.

Mini Guimauve is constructed in the round from the brim to the crown. Worked with a lofty yarn to tackle those chilly days while adding a unique touch to your wardrobe. With lace stitches and little decorative bobbles - the ‘mini guimauves’, French for mini marshmallows - this pattern produces a delicate beanie.
