The design+ inspiration

I have a little nephew or niece due in August and while I was working on my Crochet Amigurumi dolls CAL(If you haven’t seen them you can check them here) I designed a few cute hats for the dolls. Therefore, as I was photo shooting the doll’s pictures I took a few of the hats I designed for them. Later when I was editing the pictures I thought – Why not make a few hats in various sizes?

So, I took out my hat’s size chart and started crocheting. It led me to come to the conclusion that before I make more complicated hats I need to start with something simple- I bet everyone gets that phase in their crochet that you need simpler patterns that are mindless and relaxing! If you like to challenge yourself you can check out my “Ash beanie” pattern- a colorful crochet beanie pattern that is a bit intricate but so satisfying once finished. Check it here.

That is how this basic beanie pattern was born. When I started writing the pattern I wanted it to be accurate so I just made 1 of each size. There are 7 sizes for each member of your family! It also gave me the opportunity to show you a few different color combinations so you can also make yourself your personalized hats. I also added a cute crochet flower that is also beginner-friendly and pretty easy to make.

The yarn:

Recently I discovered one of my all-time favorite yarns- Bernat Premium yarn by Yarnspirations. It is worsted weight yarn, with a variety of colors to mix and match, 100% acrylic which makes it durable and machine washable. The weight is perfect for a quick crochet project and I can say that this yarn made me forget about all the thinner yarns I have worked with before. And it will be extremely hard for me to use a DK(double knit) weight yarn any time soon. If you prefer quick and easy patterns and thicker yarn you can check our knit-a-look crochet headband here.
