Crochet Chunky Beanie Pattern – Dayana
This crochet chunky beanie pattern features an open-stitch and a cross-stitch pattern for a unique, textured design. It works up quickly and easily and uses only one ball of yarn.
It’s a great pattern to have on hand when you want to make a quick handmade gift or need a new hat for yourself. Plus, it is the perfect match for this Open Double Crochet and Cross Stitch Scarf pattern so you can make a matching set in a jiffy.
The open stitch helps to keep this hat light, but still offers a good amount of warmth for mild winter days, fall, or spring weather. The cross-stitch adds a nice texture that you’ll enjoy making and wearing.
I used Loops and Threads Charisma yarn. I’m slowly going through my yarn stash, and I found several balls of this yarn, so I’ll be using it up in upcoming patterns. I love this yarn for making hats, so be on the lookout for a few more.
