So if you haven’t figured it out by now, my favorite thing to crochet is beanies, hats, toques etc. 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. The Winterscape Beanie is incredibly easy and fast to crochet. 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.
The Yarn
The yarn I used for this beanie is Cloudborn Superwash Merino Bulky. You can get it from Craftsy This yarn is one of my absolute favorites to work with. Even though this is a bulky weight yarn, it has a gorgeous drape to it. It is one of the reasons I used it for my Pink Lady Cowl. Another plus is that it comes in so many beautiful colors! You are sure to find a color you like!
Construction
The Winterscape Beanie is crocheted by first making the band. The band is created by making slip stitches in the back loop only. This creates a nice stretchy fabric. The body of the beanie is crocheted in the round with alternating rows of double crochet and the bead stitch.
