This week here in Jersey has been hot, very hot! But that hasn’t stopped me from crocheting the new pattern for the Spectrum Beanie! 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.

Yarn and Construction

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!

The Spectrum Beanie pattern is crocheted using Lion Brand’s Thick and Quick Astroland colorway. I love how all the colors come together. The pattern is crocheted in the round starting with the top and going down.

The only stitches you need to know for crocheting this pattern are the double crochet and slip stitch. The band is created using post stitches. If you don’t feel comfortable with post stitches, you can finish the band any way you want. Both colors of yarn are carried up the inside of the beanie.

NOTES

~ To get a better looking seam when joining the round of slip stitches, I used the Seamless Join Method. You can find a video tutorial HERE for that method.

~ Do not change colors on the last stitch of the round. You will change colors after you have joined the round with the seamless join.

~ To change colors, simply pick up the non working yarn, yarn over and pull the non working yarn through the loop on your hook. Then pull yarn to secure.
