The next beanie being added to the Lizzie Bear Project is the Hope Bear Beanie, which is a beautiful textured beanie. I choose to name this beanie hope because hope is something that I felt a lot during Elizabeth's NICU stay because we were always hoping for the day we could bring her home. This beanie has beautiful texture and I hope you will love it as much as I do. This beanie is a fun textured beanie to make and the pattern includes sizes from newborn to large adult.
