Sunflower Beanie

Sunflowers are summer creatures, which is what makes these so brave: raised and golden against deep teal, turned to face the cold like small suns that refused to set. They stand proud of the surface, petals plump, centres a deep golden brown. It is a cheerful beanie for grey days, the kind that changes a stranger's expression on a crowded train. The crochet runs close and even, finished with a ribbed band that hugs the head. Wear it with denim, chunky knits and a winter coat. Worked by hand, so the flowers land a little differently on every one.
