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!
This 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.

MATERIALS
2 different colors of Lion Brand Thick and Quick yarn. I used almost all of the Astroland color and about 1/3 skein of the Fisherman color.
9mm crochet hook
Scissors
Tapestry Needle
ABBREVIATIONS
Chain (ch)
Double Crochet (dc)
Slip Stitch (ss)
Front Post Double Crochet (fpdc)
Back Post Double Crochet (bpdc)
Stitch (st)
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.

Happy Crocheting!
Thank you for all your work on lovely items. I hope I get started on something soon. Just wanted you to know how much I appreciate what you do.
Thanks, Ann
Thank you so much Ann! I really appreciate your kinds words! They really mean a lot 🙂
Thanks for sharing this pattern! It’s cute, and since I have a ton of the yarn called for lying around, I thought I’d try it. On round 6, though, I’m simply not getting 44 stitches. My round 5 was done correctly, so it can’t be that. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
Hi Amy!
Thank you for pointing this out to me! The pattern should read for round 6 – Ch 2, 2 dc in same st, 1 dc in the next 7 stitches, 2 dc in the next. This should now give you 44 stitches, not 43. Sorry for mistake. I will update it. Thanks!
