Hello! I'm writing to you today to share some crochet inspiration; the weather has suddenly turned cold and wintry here in Scotland, and I'm feeling motivated to crochet lots of cosy hats, all the hats!
I've worked up one of my own designs 3 times in the last few weeks - the Saturday Beanie - and I'm really keen to share the links for this one and for a few of my other ones with you. I was actually in Edinburgh without a hat recently (a huge oversight on my part!) and I really noticed how cold I felt without one; hats are perfect for keeping you warm during the colder months.
My Top 5 Crochet Hat Pattern Recommendations:
Fields of Wheat Beanie: (Above) This is my most complex looking hat but it's not as tricky to crochet up as you might think! The wheat stalks are created by looping chains through each other and I've made a video tutorial to guide you throught he process. Construction is in two phases, the crown is crocheted first (from the bottom up) and the brim is added at the end, it's back post/ front post stitches. Find the pattern on my website here and on Ravelry here.
Tay Beanie: My most recent crochet pattern release! I love this one, full of interesting texture - if you fancy learning the star stitch, this is an ideal small project to give it a go! It uses top down construction and the ribbing is front post and back post stitches. I crocheted up my sample in The Scottish Yarn Festival, Clan DK; the stitch definition and warmth are both exceptional. Find the pattern on my blog here.
Elsie Beanie: If you're keen to try a more unusual construction method, this one is worked sideways! Rows of linked half trebles create a super drapy fabric which is ideal for the slouchy look this beanie has. I have written the pattern for two different yarn weights; DK and 4ply, both are included in the one pdf. Find the pattern on my website here and on Ravelry here.

Saturday Beanie: I named this one the Saturday Beanie because its construction and stitches flow so quickly off the hook you can easily make it on a Saturday, ready to wear on a Sunday! It's a top-down design and uses extended double crochet stitches and back-loop-only ribbing. Find the pattern on Ravelry here.
Barista Beanie: (Below) This slouchy hat is worked in 6 distinct sections, it's also crocheted in a mix of rows and rounds so it keeps you're interest. The ties are worked at the end and close the hat off neatly at the crown. It was first published in the August 2018 Crate Crochet subscription box in Australia and it's a design I'm still fond of today! Find the pattern on my website here and on Ravelry here.
I hope you enjoy these crochet hat designs of mine! I'm always happy to hear your feedback and answer any questions, so please feel free to share your thoughts with me. In the meantime, do stay warm and cosy, Marta xx |
