Welcome to another pattern in our Seven ONEderful Skeins pattern collection. The Port Beanie is one of those wonderful crochet patterns that is SO fast to make. It uses very little yarn, but it still includes some beautiful texture in the stitches.

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!

A Perfect Gender Neutral Beanie
You can see that I crocheted the Port Beanie in both worsted weight acrylic yarn and Lion Brand Scarfie yarn. And as you can also see - changing the yarn completely changes the look of the hat! What you don't lose is that lovely subtle texture that the stitches create. Change up your yarn to make this perfect gender neutral hat for anyone in your life.
