The Yarn
I had some of the Heatherly Sport Weight in colorway Lilac in my stash left over from my Lullaby Baby Blanket. This yarn worked perfectly for the Lavender Honey Beanie that I envisioned.
I wanted to honor all cancers in the 2023 Crochet Cancer Challenge by making the Lavender Honey Beanie to match the awareness ribbon, which is lavender.
