When I went shopping at JOANN for yarn for my new beanie design I didn’t really have a specific color in mind. I did know that I wanted to do something with an ombre look to it. So I knew I would be on a mission for a few different colors from light to dark. When I tell you these 4 colors just called to me from the shelf…they were perfect.
Now, I know..I know.. technically the yarn colors are “rose”. But when I was naming my design I couldn’t stop thinking of cranberry frost. I thought it went so well, especially with how frosty and cold out it is.
This pattern is really fun to make. I use the alternate spike St throughout. It gives it almost a waistcoat stitch look in my opinion! You need to make sure that you join and turn after every round of the main portion of the beanie. Don’t forget!
I can only imagine the different color combos that can be used for this beanie! So many options! I think one with white, light grey, charcoal and then black would be so cute! If you need a little bit of extra help, I got you covered! I have a full video tutorial of The Cranberry Frost Beanie on my YouTube channel!
It’s the perfect time to pick some yarn during the Yarnormous sale with JOANN! Be sure to check it out!
I was recently given the chance to try out some new yarn and I love it! It’s a gorgeous 100% baby alpaca light weight yarn. The Andeansun website has so many pretty yarns to try out so be sure to take a look! I decided on the color “sunset”. It’s a beautiful yellow color and when you look up close it has small flecks of green. I wanted to make something fun with a simple stitch so that the yarn could really shine in this project. A while back I made my “basic chunky slouch” beanie and thought that a re-make of the pattern with a lighter yarn would be perfect for it!
This beanie is very customizable size wise. Simply make the starting foundation row as long as you want it. The longer the row the more “slouch” your beanie will have. Work as many rows as you need for the hat to fit around your head. I’ll include a rough estimate for amount of rows needed but you can easily adjust it.
Materials:
- Light (3) weight yarn. I used Andeansun baby alpaca in the color “sunset” Approximately 70(90,120,150,190) grams.
- 4.00mm crochet hook
- yarn needle
Who else thinks of fruity pebbles when they see the Hudson Bay color from Lion brand Wool-ease yarn?? It’s not just me right? That’s how this hat got the name the Pebbles Beanie! This pattern fits the average woman’s head but is easily customizable by adding more or less rows and stitches. This beanie is made to be fitted instead of slouchy, so if you like a slouchier look be sure to add more chains in the beginning!
Don’t forget to tag me on Instagram if you make a Pebbles Beanie! I love seeing your creations! 🙂

This basic slouchy beanie is the perfect hat using super bulky yarn. It’s super easy to adjust the length and size of the hat as needed. The pattern shown will make a hat that fits the average woman’s head. If you want something slouchier add more chains in the beginning. If you want it larger, just add more rows! Simple and fast!

Cozy Wool Yarn by Loops & Threads In Sandstone. I used an entire skein and just barely had enough, so if your hat is for a Man or you want it to be bigger/slouchier be sure to get an extra skein
