A Crochet Happy Place!
Lately, I have been teaching the basics of crochet to a few of my friends. Many have asked me to show them how to crochet a hat/beanie. The first beanie I ever crocheted was one that was worked in the round from top down. I decided that this approach was probably the easiest to show them. [Read more…]
Last week I released a new pattern for my Cambridge Infinity Scarf. I have received such positive feedback about this pattern! Thank you all so much! I know I have said that I don’t typically do sets, but for this pattern, I had too 🙂 [Read more…]
So if you haven’t figured it out by now, my favorite thing to crochet is beanies. For me, they are by far the easiest and quickest accessory to crochet. I am not a big fan of projects that take up a lot of time. This beanie is incredibly easy to crochet. It is a very quick project as well. If you are running up against time for a gift, this beanie fits the bill! You can make this beanie without the faux fur pom-pom as well. [Read more…]
I know not everyone is a beanie/hat kind of person. Personally, I love when the Winter comes around so I can wear all my winter beanies. My twin sister on the other hand, never wears a beanie. I’m not sure why she doesn’t wear them but it is one thing we do not have in common. I feel that an ear warmer is a good compromise to not wearing a beanie. I plan on giving this ear warmer to my sister for Christmas. Hopefully she will wear it. [Read more…]
Currently, I don’t know how to knit. I actually tried learning how to knit before I learned how to crochet. For some reason I just could not grasp holding two needles together. I wanted to learn because I love the look of knitted pieces. Maybe some day I will learn, but for now I am happy with the look of Tunisian crochet. [Read more…]
So last week I shared with you my pattern for the Lenape Cowl. I really loved the cowl so much that I decided to make a slouch beanie. It is crocheted using the same Twin Cluster stitch. If you do not know this stitch, you can click on the link above and it will take you to a tutorial for the stitch. [Read more…]
This week here in Jersey has been hot, very hot! But that hasn’t stopped me from crocheting all my fall and winter patterns! I love being able to work with chunky yarn again! As some of you may know, it’s my favorite kind of yarn to work with. A couple months ago, I noticed Lion Brand put out new colors in their Thick and Quick line. So of course I had to get my hands on them lol! [Read more…]
I LOVE BEANIES! What’s not to love, right? They make great gifts and can be crocheted in so many different styles for so many different people like friends, relatives, coworkers babies etc.
Beanies are great because they help keep your head and ears warm in the long and cold Winter months. They also can help cover up a bad hair day! haha! C’mon we’ve all been there 🙂
Below are 4 free easy crochet beanie patterns that are created using beginner stitches. Even if you are an experienced crocheter, these beanie patterns are easy to whip up and make perfect gifts!
Primrose Beanie – This beanie is crocheted using the Primrose stitch. This stitch consists of single crochet and double crochet stitches. The band is created by crocheting slip stitches in the back loop only. You can also crochet this beanie using any worsted weight yarn in any colors you like! The pom-pom is completely optional but I feel it adds a little something extra!
Every Girl Slouch – This beanie pattern is one of the first patterns I ever crocheted. I love this beanie because it goes with just about any outfit and can be crocheted in just about any color! It is my go-to beanie for any occasion. It is created using the same band as my Primrose Beanie. It uses the double crochet and single crochet stitches to create the body of the beanie!
Alabaster Slouch – This beanie is crocheted using a worsted weight yarn. It is created by crocheting the band first and then slip stitching to create a circle. The body of the beanie is crocheted in a continuous round so there is no need to join. I love the color of this beanie. It reminds me of both beige and grey. Some call this color “greige.” If you are wondering what color it is, click the link to find out 🙂
Wonderland Beanie – This is one of my favorite beanies! It is very easy to crochet. The pattern is  repetitive but makes for a very fast and straightforward design. I love the way the slip stitch and half double crochet work together to create such a beautiful texture. It is the same stitch sequence I use in my Cozy Cocoon Cardigan and Fluffy Clouds Infinity Scarf.
I really hope you have enjoyed these beanie patterns! Feel free to take a look around and check out some of my other patterns!
Happy Crocheting!
Beanies and hats are hands down my favorite thing to crochet. I think one of the reasons why they are my favorite is because they can be crocheted multiple ways. I typically crochet my beanies either top down (in the round), bottom up (creating a band, joining the band, then crocheting the body and cinching at the top) or by crocheting a rectangle, sewing the shorter ends together, and then cinching the top.

Have you ever used roving yarn?  I have been wanting to create a pattern using roving yarn for a while now but I just never seemed to get around to it. There have been so many times when I had it in my hands and was ready to buy but always ended up putting it back and getting distracted with some other kind of yarn lol! Roving yarn is yarn that is usually bulky and is not twisted or plied like many other types of yarn. It is created in a long and narrow bundle of fiber.  It can be used for felting and is incredibly resilient. [Read more…]
