Flower Spirits Hat

The weather is still warm and sunny here in the UK so I used my chance to take pictures of my new knitted design - Flower Spirits Hat.

It was a bit difficult to take pictures because the yarn is so bright even in the shadow. My little princess was so actively modeling and changing her positions and faces every moment. But anyway we had a great fun during our photo shoot this morning.

This cozy beanie is knitted with beautiful lace pattern and DK/8-ply weight cotton yarn from Rico Design in bright fuchsia color. I really love this color and quality of this yarn. I have already used it to knit my Papillon bolero this summer. The hat is decorated with a large knitted flower.
