Hats are probably my favorite thing to crochet, and I love how fast and easily the Iris Beanie works up! It’s a perfect combination of cozy and lacy and it has a matching cowl. Keep reading for the free crochet pattern.
The Iris Stitch for a Lacy Hat
I’m not a huge fan of typical lace, but the Iris stitch is just close enough to make it flowing and feminine. If you like a little more slouch to your hat instead of a beanie, just add a few more rows before you close up the top! Top it off with a yarn or faux fur pom and you have your new favorite winter hat ready to go.

Crochet a Matching Iris Stitch Beanie and Cowl
I first used this stitch for the Iris Cowl, and this year I decided that the cowl needed a matching hat counterpart. These two projects together would make a beautiful set for yourself or as a gift.
