Cranberry Frost Beanie Crochet Pattern

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!

When you reach the 10 Sl St, drop Color A right before you YO and pull through. Pick up Color B and pull it through to complete the stitch. Your working yarn is now Color B. Turn your ribbing correct side out so that the seam is now on the inside of the hat. You will now be working into the side of the rows of the ribbing.

Round 1(RS): Ch 1 (does not count), work 1 Sc into the same Sp. You will be working your Sc stitches in between the “ridges” of the ribbing. Work 55 more Sc around the ribbing, Sl St to the first Sc made, TURN. (56 Sc)
