Crossing Over Beanie

Disclaimer: This Post Contains Affiliate Links.

The name for this crossing over beanie crochet pattern came as a result of the cross stitches used … and also because I’m always crossing over new bridges in my life.

This beanie can be crocheted to any size by increasing or decreasing the diameter. I used a fine yarn, so it has a lot of stretch in it, but if you don’t like crocheting with fine yarns, you might be able to crochet it with a regular yarn. I can’t guarantee the outcome, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. Just make sure you adjust the diameter to your size.

Hope you will enjoy your new beanie. And here is the cowl pattern to match.
