Playing with Puff Stitches
Welcome to another pattern in our Seven ONEderful Skeins pattern collection. The Butterscotch Beanie is a pattern that shows a really fun and easy way to play with textured crochet stitches. The pillow-like puff stitches make a cute spiral design when this pattern is done!
Seven ONEderful Skeins
Welcome to Seven ONEderful Skeins - the spin off from my popular Seven Days of Scarfie pattern event. This year all of our patterns will be made with one skein of simple worsted weight acrylic, BUT I also made them with Lion Brand Scarfie yarn. You get to decide what yarn you're going to use. But one way or the other - we are going to make 7 projects in 7 days with 7 skeins (or less) of yarn!
I hope that you love each of these pattern collections as much as I do!

You Can't Tell That a Crocheter is Left Handed - Until Now
Secrets out! I'm a left handed crocheter - hiding in plain site with the name 'Left in Knots' <wink, wink> This is one of the few patterns that you will notice a difference between the finished pieces of a left and right handed crocheter. But don't worry! It's not a significant change. If you are right handed, your puff stitches will spiral in the opposite direction. This beanie looks beautiful in any yarn, and will also look just as nice with an opposite spiral. I can't wait to see your finished projects so I can see who my fellow lefties are!

Row 1: SC in the second ch from the hook and SC across (12). Turn

When you finish the ribbed band, fold it so that Row 1 and 60 are on top of one another. Working through the back loop of Row 60 and the front loop of Row 1, seam the two rows together by slip stitching across. Do not cut your yarn. Continue on to work in rounds along the “raw” edge of ribbed band.
