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’m sure you have already heard about Hat Not Hate but if not, let me tell ya about it! Hat Not Hate is an anti-bullying campaign by Lion Brand! I’m sure we’ve all experienced being bullied at some point growing up. It’s not fun at all and can be to an extreme amount for some kids! Hat Not Hate is a “craftivist” movement to actively eradicate bullying!
So what do you do? Make a blue hat that fits head sizes 16-20″ in circumference (ages 5-18) and donate it to Lion Brand! October is national bullying prevention month. The hats that are donated will be distributed to kids in school across the country! A total of 58,248 hats have been made and donated so far!! Let’s get that number even higher!
Check out the Hat Not Hate website for all the info you need on where and how to donate a hat!
I designed a crochet pattern- The Pop Of Love Beanie for Hat Not Hate! This beanie is really quick and fun to work up. The circumference is about 18″ which fits the Hat Not Hat criteria for donation! I used popcorn stitches in the pattern which are really fun to make and give it a cute texture. I also designed the Be Kind Beanie a couple years ago which is also available on my blog!
Have you ever tried a mandala yarn before? I’m sure the answer to that question is probably a yes, right? 😉 Well, when I saw the Mandala Tweed Stripes from Lion Brand I knew I had to check it out. I don’t normally gravitate towards striping yarns but something about these colors were calling to me. I’m a sucker for tweed! Somebody mentioned in my Instagram comments that the colors remind them of strata layers and I have to say, I definitely agree! The Strata Beanie pattern is fun and quick to make.
I incorporated some surface stitching which I think gives it the perfect finishing touch. Plus there are so many different colors you can use for different holidays! Red and green for a christmas beanie, white and pink for Valentines day, or maybe even make it in your school colors! I think it would be great in your team’s colors too!

It’s a new year which means a bunch of new free patterns on the blog! I have a lot of fun stuff in the works for you all and to start it off i’m posting this super chunky beanie! Now, this beanie is a tiny bit different because i’m using a stitch that’s not technically a real stitch, I guess you could say. You’ve heard of the Center single crochet or “waistcoat” stitch right? well this uses that stitch except it’s “extended”. I’ve just added one more yarn over in the stitch. Below are a couple of video tutorials for you to get a visual. I promise its super easy!

My Plaid About You Beanie and My Oso Plaid Beanie are 2 of my most popular patterns! I’ve had a lot of requests for more plaid design options and a pine tree was the top voted. A deer head came in close second so maybe that will be my next one! Have you guys made either beanie yet? The fit of this beanie is a bit different than my others. I decided to make it fitted instead of slouchy and I love how it turned out. Be sure to tag me in your photos on instagram, I love to see your work!

I’ve been getting a ton of requests for a pattern using the waistcoat stitch, so The Snow Cone Beanie is born! If you follow me on Instagram you know that i’ve been creating a lot of designs using this stitch and its one of my favs!

The yarn I used for this pattern is super chunky! Be sure you are using a yarn weight of at least 6. I recommend Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick and Quick if you don’t have any WAK on hand.

Every fall my husband asks for a new beanie to wear. This year he requested one with his football teams colors! This pattern is perfect for customizing to your favorite football team colors! Sean likes his beanies slouchy and stretchy. This one is really fast to make, it’s worked in rows to form a rectangle and then sewn together at the end. You can make it as slouchy or as fitted as you want by making your starting Ch longer or shorter. It’s also really easy to customize the colors you want and add as many colors as you would like!
Materials Needed:
- Worsted Weight yarn in 3 or 4 colors.
- 6.00mm crochet hook
- Yarn Needle
Notes:
This hat is worked in rows and then sewn at the end to form the hat.
I made Evie a new headband the other night using Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Cotton Yarn! It is SO soft and one of my favorite yarns to work with. I had plenty of yarn leftover so I decided to make Penelope a matching beanie to go with it! The color I chose is very springy and the light-weight cotton is perfect for the current weather! My favorite part is that I was able to make both the headband and beanie for less than one skein of yarn. Both patterns are very simple and beginner friendly.

Materials:
- Worsted weight cotton yarn. I used One skein of Hobby Lobbys I love This Cotton! in Pastel.

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! 🙂
