When your schedule gets busier, it can be hard to find time to work on big projects like crochet afghans and sweaters. If you’re like me though, crochet is an important part of your life that has to be worked in. That’s why I always turn to the fun, fast, and reliable project: the crochet hat. In particular, this Moss stitch crochet hat pattern.
When I first learned to crochet a hat, it was all I would make for the longest time. And that’s how you’ll feel after you make this crochet beanie. This crochet beanie pattern is really simple and the moss stitch is a lot of fun to crochet. If you're a lover of all things crochet stitches, take a moment to check out the Ultimate Crochet Stitch Library which has full video tutorials of 45 crochet stitches.
Like with many hats, after you make the ribbing, you crochet in the round. Row by row. It’s made in two colors and has a big faux fur pom pom on top.
Beanie hats make excellent gifts, so if you know someone with a birthday coming up, you’re set.
It’s really relaxing and a nice way to unwind at the end of the day. And when the year gets busier, it's always nice to have easy crochet projects on hand like this one.
