You’ve made it to the end of the week. Now it’s time to celebrate and bring out those hooks and needles! Break out the yarn. With summer coming to an end, fall is just around the corner. Waiting and watching us as we enjoy the last of the popsicles and bike rides.
The smell of pumpkin spice lingers in the air as the nights become cooler and the sun sets a little earlier each night.
Now is the time to figure out what fall and winter hats you’d like to knit and crochet. With most markets being cancelled across the US, it’s still never a bad idea to stockpile some beanies. For me, they are such quick makes and I’m always ready if someone orders one.
Below, I’ve rounded up 8 wonderful beanie patterns to try out! Some are free and most are paid. Don’t be afraid to pay for a pattern-that designer worked hard on that pattern and definitely deserves our support.
Michelle says, “I’ve been crocheting for about 10 years now, and am self taught. I’ve been writing and publishing patterns for about 2 years now, and really love that side of the crochet community. It’s allowed me to connect with some of the greatest people I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. The Macy Beanie is named after my sweet niece, and just like her, it’s fun, bright and makes me smile!”
Lindsay says, “Inspired by the popular red stripe hiking socks, we created this fashionable and fun double Brim Beanie pattern for you to bring a little Canadiana love to your knitting needles!
This listing includes ALL 3 patterns- Infant Sizes, Kids Sizes and Adult.”
Alison says, “This Mommy And Me Fair Isle Beanie Set features 4 sizes (Baby, Child, Tween, and Adult) and 2 variations of this adorable “Heart Beanie” including a Messy Bun Beanie version and a Slouchy Beanie version. It’s perfect for making hats for everyone in your family.”
Leesa says, “Reminiscent of flowers in bloom this beautiful beanie pattern is easier to make than it looks. I would consider it advanced beginner. This pattern includes detailed instructions, a photo tutorial and links to videos that can teach you the stitches that I used to create this gorgeous beanie.
This pattern comes in 5 sizes:
Child Teen/Small Adult Medium Adult Large Adult Extra Large Adult
I hope you all enjoy creating this unique beauty as much as I have designing it.”
Erin says, “This super bulky weight ‘North Wind Beanie’ uses two colors of yarn to create a fun fair isle design with an extra cozy feel. The stranded colorwork adds an extra layer of warmth and makes this hat a great accessory to wear in the low winter temperatures.”
Ashley says, “The Claire Bun Beanie is super cute and a great pattern for beginners! This pattern includes 23 high-quality images to help explain each step and links to the specific supplies used in the pattern.”
Justyna says, “The Justyna Beanie MEGA is a classic, gender-neutral style. The eye-grabbing texture will make it the first hat you want to reach for when bundling up on chilly days. Available in multiple sizes, you can make this for everyone! It works up almost effortlessly with simple stitches and super bulky (size 6) yarn.”
