The Bulky Houndstooth Beanie is a crochet hat that you can make in a couple of hours, maybe less!
That’s one of the wonderful things about working crochet beanies in a bulky or super bulky weight yarn: they work up so quickly. This Bulky Houndstooth Beanie is worked from the brim up and is fitted for an adult head with a 20-22 inch circumference.
This beanie is so easy to work! There is a bit of colour work involved, but the stitches used are half double, double and single crochet. You can complete the pattern in no time and the bulky weight yarn is super cozy to wear.
This houndstooth beanie has a slight slouch to it! That slouch can be adjusted however by working a shorter or longer hat. You can also wear the hat with a pompom or with out. If you opt to making a pompom for the hat you will see that if you are working from a full ball of yarn, you will have some left over.
Materials:
For the Bulky Houndstooth Beanie, you will need two different colours of yarn. I invite you to choose your favourites! In my sample I have used a bulky weight yarn called Hue + Me by Lion Brand Yarn. It features a variety of beautiful earth tone colours. The colours selected are as follows: Smoke (Colour A), Salt (Colour B). You will only need about 1/2 a ball in each colour. You will also need an 8 mm (L/11 ) crochet hook.
