Roses's Crossing Beanie! - ELK Studio - Handcrafted Crochet Designs

Once I finished with the Made for the Cold Beanie, my head starting swirling of all of the different types of stitches that would work perfectly for the “new technique” that I crocheted for the project. I’m so happy to present to you Rose’s Crossing!

Please Favorite or Queue in Ravelry!

The hat is filled with textured not only because of the X-Stitches you see but it’s also double-layered. The result is this amazing hat that is incredibly warm and very stylish!

The Red Heart Soft yarn gives amazing stitch definition in this project that you’ll love! I can totally see so many color variations can’t you? If you decide to make the hat, please share your pictures with me! I’d love to see them!

If you want to close up the hole, finish reading the instructions below.

Leaving a long 15″ tail, you will weave in the yarn through the loops of the remaining stitches, pull the yarn tight to close the hole. Fasten off. Weave in the ends. If you need help with closing the hole, I made a video tutorial you can check out.
