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!
When I got my hands on Lion Brand Merino Camel I knew immediately I wanted to make a matching beanie and fingerless mitt set. The super soft and fine yarn was perfect for the Midnight Dunes Set!
The colors reminded me of a nautical east coast chilly beach feel. I asked my followers on Instagram what they thought a good name would be and someone suggested The Midnight Dunes set! A really fitting name in my opinion!
This set is great for an advanced beginner. Maybe you already have the basics down and want to try out something a bit more challenging then scroll on down! You will be doing some color work and fun stitches.
I even made full VIDEO tutorials for both the beanie and the mitts! So if your still new to crocheting you can follow right along! You can find the beanie video here and the mitt video here!
