The Taylor Beanie Crochet pattern is a beautiful blend of a clean and classic look with great texture.
It is definitely a crochet hat that you will want to add to your wardrobe this year. The Tayler Beanie features a couple of my favourite crochet stitches including the half double crochet in the third loop and front post double crochet stitches. I use these stitches so much.
The combination of these stitches worked in rounds creates beautiful and thick ridges of texture. They make for a hat that is super cozy, but not too dense. The hat has a good stretch to it that will keep its shape, but adjust to a variety of sizes and shapes. Enjoy!
