The Rainbow Thermal Beanie Crochet Pattern is an extra thick and warm beanie worked in the thermal stitch!
I am loving the thermal stitch at the moment! It takes a little bit longer to work, but the results are well worth it! The stitch is dense and extra thick making it an interesting and wonderful stitch for crochet beanies. I have used this stitch in a number of other ear warmer and crochet beanie patterns such as the Easy Thermal Beanie Crochet Pattern.
This beanie is worked in a similar manner, but with a thicker yarn so that it works up more quickly, and with some fun and customizable stripes of colour! I hope you like it!

For this crochet beanie today I will be using a worsted weight acrylic yarn called Heartland by Lion Brand Yarn. You see it here in the colour Dry Tortugas (130 yards), Kobuk Valley (40 yards), Carsbad Caverns (40 yards), Canyonlands (40 yards) and Rocky Mountains (40 Yards). I will also be using a 5mm crochet hook. In the video below I will be using a 5mm Wooden Streamline Hook by Furls Crochet.

Pattern Notes:
- Pattern is written in American English terms.
- Pattern is worked in rounds, you will need to turn at the end of each round.
- Ch 1 at beginning of row does not count as stitch.
- Weave in ends as needed.
- Using a stitch marker, I recommend marking the last st in each round as they sometimes pull too tight to see while working.
- To change the size of your beanie, I recommend increasing or decreasing your foundation chain in multiples of 5.
