Free crochet beanie pattern
Let your first project of the season be this free crochet beanie pattern! The days are getting shorter & cooler, so i’t time to break out your yarn you stored away all summer.
To create the leaves we will be using the spike stitch. We will be creating chain spaces over 3 rows to create this look. Within these rows, you will be creating these spike stitches.
Don’t worry. I will take you step by step in creating this hat pattern. Written and video tutorial included. Scroll down page for the complete pattern.
