Description of the Woodland Beanie Free Pattern.

The Woodland Beanie Free Crochet Pattern is a sideways construction beanie. You start with a chain as tall as you want the beanie to be and work your rows until it is long enough to go around your head. The body of the beanie is made up of half double crochet stitches and single crochet stitches worked into the back loop only, so it has this great cozy texture. In this pattern there it enough length for a large folded up brim

Don’t forget to pin it for later so you don’t lose it.

All About the Yarn.

I nearly always use Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick and Quick whenever I make up my Beanie crochet  pattern.  I tried using a substitute but it never had the luxurious, cozy appeal.  I think it is the fact that this yarn is 20% wool and 80% acrylic, so it has a softness and springiness that is hard to duplicate with other yarns. You can however substitute any super bulky weight yarn you have available to make these beanies, but they might have a different feel and vibe.

I have used Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick and Quick on other crochet patterns here on my blog, including the Short and Chunky Fingerless Gloves   and my Warmest Feet Ever Slipper Socks.

Colourways:

Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick and Quick yarn is available in a wide variety of shades, including neutrals, and lovely earth tones and pinks etc. It is such a user friendly yarn and just great for making these crochet beanies. I used Kale, Barley and Grey for this Simple Striped Beanie. 

Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick and Quick is a super bulky weight yarn with a number 6 on the label.

Care instructions for Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick and Quick.

Machine Wash, Machine Dry
You can machine wash this yarn but the initial water temperature should not exceed 40C or 105F. You can Dry Clean it with any solvent. Do not use any bleach products on Lion Brand Thick and Quick. You can use a machine dryer at the hottest available temperature setting. Do not us an iron to smooth or finish items made with this yarn.

Introducing the The Woodland Beanie Free Crochet Pattern which is made with super bulky  yarn and the single crochet and half double crochet stitch. I would love to see lots of your Woodland Beanies in different colours once they are done. I have chosen  colours from nature for my stripes.

Special Stitches for this Pattern.

Back Loop Only BLO

This beanie is made using the single crochet back loop only stitch  (sc blo) and the half double crochet back loop only stitch, (hdc blo)
When you see blo after sc or hdc it is to indicate that you do the specified stitch into the back loop only of the previous stitch. I have a video on how to find the back loop on my youtube channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQhzE70Ov-U&t=85s /

Using a strand of yarn at least 10” long and a yarn needle, gather up the stitches along the top of the beanie and pull tight. Work back and forwards to secure the top of the beanie. Fasten off and weave in the ends.

 

Turn the beanie right side out and fold up the brim.

Make a yarn pom pom and attach to the top of your beanie or use a faux fur pom pom.

I hope you enjoy your Woodland Hat.
