Dahling...

When this new yarn color arrived on my front porch I immediately knew I wanted to make a hat with layers of flower petals.  The yarn is called Begonia (how perfect!) and when we get those first few precious warm days here in the midwest it is impossible to think of anything other than planting in your garden.  Even for people who don't particularly like being in the dirt the fresh, rich colors after a long drab winter make everyone smile.  This design reminds me of the layers of petals on a Dahlia with all of the sweet colors we welcome each spring.
