The Ava Beanie is a gorgeous textured beanie, when I designed this beanie I wanted to name it after my oldest daughter Ava. She is a little girl who loves adorable colors and texture that I thought it would be perfect. If you know basic crochet stitches, you will be able to whip up the Ava Beanie in no time. This beanie is a fun textured beanie that using a sparkle yarn gives it a little extra pop.
