A Mixed Stitch Crochet Beanie with Tons of Texture
The Cinnamon Cider Beanie has me dreaming of crisp autumn mornings, apple picking, pumpkin patches and wearing sweaters again. In the summer, these things feels so far away. In the winter, it feels like Fall was much too fleeting. Thankfully we can crochet pieces that give us that "the leaves are just starting to change color" vibe.
A Mixed Stitch Crochet Beanie with Tons of Texture
One of my favorite things to do with basic acrylic yarn is to design patterns that show off a LOT of texture. There's just something so pretty about a rich, solid color combined with the visual interest of mixed stitches that I love. Enter the Cinnamon Cider Beanie - our first project from this year's Seven Days of Scarfie collection.
Seven Days of Scarfie
Welcome to my 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!

Crochet the Cinnamon Cider Beanie Two Ways
I decided to crochet the Cinnamon Cider Beanie in both worsted weight acrylic yarn and Lion Brand Scarfie yarn. I wanted to highlight how stunning pieces can look either way! The solid colored yarn really allows the textured stitches to shine, while the ombre effect of the Scarfie yarn adds its own visual interest. You really can't go wrong either way! I can't wait to see what yarn you decide to use.
