Basic Spring Beanie & Flower Crochet Pattern

I have a confession to make...

It's taken me a long time to come to terms with my, urmm, addiction, but since I feel so close to all of you I feel It's only right if I tell you that not only am I a Craftaholic,
I'm also a.... Gardenaholic!
Yes I know, the shame of having constant grimy fingernails, a sore back and sweaty palms.
But you know what, it's completely worth it since once Spring comes you're allowed
to explore through your own "Secret Garden". Regrowth is a magical experience, trust me! 

Spring is such a beautiful and special time of the year. This beanie was inspired by that beauty.
