Hats are probably my favorite thing to crochet, and this C2C beanie is no exception! I love the diagonal ombre fade of colors, and the faux fur pom on top totally finishes the piece. Keep reading for the free Glacial Beanie crochet pattern.
C2C Beanie - Not a Blanket!
When I think of C2C crochet, normally a blanket pops into my mind. But not anymore! Through some experimenting I’ve discovered that as much as I love a good C2C blanket, I think I love the stitch even more for a C2C beanie. I love the diagonal ombre fade that the C2C stitch creates with the Scarfie yarn, and the stitch itself offers some nice texture without being too rigid. I also love that the C2C stitch is a relatively mindless stitch, perfect for watching Netflix (or Disney+) and crocheting!

Yarn Substitutes for Scarfie Yarn
Ever since I started Seven Days of Scarfie, I’ve been asked a lot about yarn that can be substituted when Scarfie isn’t available or wool is an issue. The good news is that you can substitute almost any worsted weight yarn or light Category 5 yarn for this pattern! Since scarves aren’t particularly fitted you don’t even need to worry about gauge. Just add or subtract length as desired if your yarn is a different weight category. If you are looking for yarn similar to Lion Brand Scarfie yarn, check out my list of recommended substitutes here.
