Winter Warmth Crochet Beanie Pattern

Ever so slightly, the long days of winter are shortening, quietly giving way to longer spring days. Until Spring gets here though, we still need to keep ourselves warm, especially our precious heads. Thankfully, we’ve got hats like the Winter Warmth Crochet Beanie Pattern to keep us toasty and cozy.

This easy crochet hat patterns uses basic crochet stitch but are modified by placing them around the front or back post. This simple crochet technique is great for adding fun visual texture to an otherwise simple hat.

Made with chunky size 5 yarn, this crochet hat works up quickly and easily. You’ll even have enough yarn leftover to make a pair of mittens (which is exactly what I did).
