I can’t believe it’s already November and cold enough for my annual Beanie and Mitt set! Last winter I released The Winter Moonlight Set and this year is The Stonebridge Set crochet pattern!
I wanted to do something a little bit different than your typical beanie. I decided to construct it in more of a “bonnet” style and add a tie with little poms on the ends! You’ll start the beanie by creating the ribbing in rows, then crocheting your first row into the sides of the ribbing rows made. You’ll continue the first several rows back and fourth before joining the piece together and crocheting the remaining beanie in joined and turned rounds. Don’t forget the turn! It’s very important to do so within the pattern.
The fingerless mitts uses the same stitches but worked up slightly different. The ribbing is made the same as the beanie but you will immediately join together and worked in turned rounds throughout the entirety of the main body of the mitt. Take note of the thumb hole round! This will be slightly different for the left vs. the right mitt. Other than that, both left and right will be the same!
I used worsted (4) weight yarn for this set. The main color A is Lion Brand Skein Tones in “Ivory or Basic Stitch Anti-pilling in “ecru” (these are the same colors and either one will work) and Color B is Ferris Wheel in “Morning Java”. If you want your fingerless mitts to have the same color stripes, be sure to start on the same color within the ferris wheel skein. You’ll have to pull the yarn out and cut so you can start at the same point! Other than that, no need to worry about rearranging the colors as they stripe on there own! You can find this yarn in the Lion Brand kit along with a free copy of my PDF pattern!
I’ve finally started to settle into more of a routine with my youngest, who is a terrible sleeper! I’ve been able to have a lot more free time to work on my business! As some of you know I’ve been working hard on getting patterns and finished crochet products up on my Etsy Shop. I don’t want to neglect my blog and will be posting a lot more free patterns in the new year! Be sure to keep checking back and subscribe for the latest patterns and tutorials!
This is a really fun and easy hat pattern to complete, as soon as you get the stitch down you will be able to knock out a hat in an hour or two! This pattern uses bulky yarn but can easily be customizable with worsted or super bulky yarn!
Materials:
8mm Crochet hook
Bulky yarn (5) I used less than one skein of Loops and Threads Charisma.
Yarn needle
Scrap yarn for pompom (optional)
Notes:
The main portion of the hat is first worked back and fourth in rows. You will then attach your yarn at the bottom and work in rounds to make the brim.Â
