Amygdala Beanie Knit Pattern
In the human brain, the amygdalae play a major role in producing emotional memories; as we move through life, we learn from these memories, trying to avoid the negative and attract the positive. Let’s create more positive ones, shall we?
The Amygdala Beanie is a simple, quick knit that has plenty of textural interest. While the listing says this is a bulky hat, this pattern is actually two patterns in one: bulky and super bulky, both on large needles to relax the mind and give you an instant gratification project whenever you need one.
