Free Crochet Beanie Pattern in Two Sizes

If you’ve been following my blog before today, you may have picked up on the fact that I am a big fan of texture in my crochet patterns. And here is what I like best - texture doesn’t have to mean complicated! This hat uses such basic stitches that even a beginner can make it, and it still gives you the ‘wow’ effect when it’s done.

Alternate Variegated and Solid Yarn

Another simple technique that I used to make this hat eye catching yet easy is by alternating variegated and solid yarn. This also makes the pattern a wonderful scrap buster if you have some leftovers from previous crochet projects.

A Hat in Children and Adult Sizes

I crocheted the Crinkle Beanie for both myself and my daughter, so I wrote the pattern in child and adult sizes. That being said, this hat can be made in literally any size because there isn’t a particular stitch multiple you have to follow.
