For March, I created a lacy slouch hat using Anchor Bay, one of my favorite yarns. This ultra-soft and versatile blend of Superwash Merino Wool and Cotton is a great choice for a variety of projects. It is lightweight, breathable, and has a supple texture that makes it a delight to work with, whether you knit or crochet.
