Melibe leonina Beanie

Melibe leonina are one of my favorite slugs to find, both because they are such silly swimmers and also because they smell delightful - like watermelon and citrus. When I designed this pattern I wanted to show that love by putting a little heart for it's mouth.

The base beanie is made of 100% acrylic and can be machine washed in cold water and dried on low heat. The embroidered design is made with 100% polyester Floriani embroidery thread.

While the design may appear crinkled in photos, this is intentional as the beanie was stretched in the embroidery hoop so that it would lay nicely when worn. The beanies pictured are samples, your beanie may vary slightly as I make them all myself, but I will do my best to match them.

This design is a NonCompliant Cyborg original by JA Fields.
