Crossy Road Beanie – Crochet Pattern
Hello! This is Tonja the designer behind Pink Plumeria Maui and I’m delighted to be back on Clover USA’s Blog.
Today I’m sharing with you a new crochet pattern using Clover’s Amour Crochet Hooks, the Crossy Road Beanie. I used an H (5 mm) & I (5.5 mm) Amour Crochet Hooks to create this beanie!
The Crossy Road Beanie pattern is designed to have texture as well as be fashionable. The Messy Bun version is a super cute way to wear your hair up while keeping your head warm. As you can see I made a messy bun beanie version of the Crossy Road Beanie.
In this Crossy Road Beanie pattern, I used worsted weight yarn and cables to create this beautiful texture. When working these cables you always work your cables on top of the same four stitches. Working in the round please pay attention to where it says to turn at the end of the row after slip stitching. This keeps the texture on the right side of the beanie. The Spiked Baskets pattern is an intermediate pattern however beginners can definitely make it as cables are made of double crochet stitches.
Let’s get to it. Here’s what you’ll need.
