The Cambridge Beanie

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 🙂

The Construction

The pattern for my Cambridge Beanie uses the same stitch that I used in my scarf pattern. The beanie is crocheted by first making the band. The body of the beanie is crocheted with alternating rounds that are turned after every round. Any worsted weight yarn will work for this pattern. The yarn I used for this pattern is Lion Brand Wool-Ease yarn.  I really love how this beanie turned out! I hope you enjoy the pattern!
