A Light Weight Crochet Beanie Made with Scarfie Yarn
One of my favorite things about Scarfie yarn is that it is so light and lofty. I especially love using it in crochet patterns like this Candied Ginger Beanie because it creates a light weight piece that still packs all the warmth you need for winter.

A Crochet Beanie with a Matching Scarf
If you have been following my Seven Days of Scarfie pattern event for a little while; you may recognize the look of this beanie. Last year I designed the Candied Ginger Infinity Scarf and I loved it so much that I had to make a coordinating hat to wear with it.
