More recently she was brought to life on the big screen in a movie that both my kids and I have watched about a million times! So that her long golden tresses didn’t get all ‘tangled’ up while walking around (see what I did there?!) she enlisted some little girls to put it up in many braids, a style I was immediately reminded of when designing the original version of this beanie. She is a character from an old french fairytale…Ī beautiful girl with long tresses of golden hair, raised and concealed in a tall tower by a fairy… Perhaps you’ve heard of her by another name? If you’d like to check out some more fabulous patterns you can use to create beanies to donate to Hat Not Hate then check out this round-up over at CroChic Styles Persinette Beanie – Child Size, Made by Wish Upon A Hookīut first, a little note about Persinette herself…
And there’s still time to join in on the fun! (Did I mention there are prizes to be won?!) Just grab your hooks and your favorite blue yarn, and get stitching! What a fantastic cause! My crew and I organised a Make-A-Long for people who wanted to get involved, releasing a new hat design each week for members of our facebook group to make along with us, and then contributing them towards a final hat count that will be donated to the campaign.
