Say hello to the Crossrows Beanie, perfect for the chilly and windy weather! The name of the design comes from the stitches I used to create the pattern and I was playing with the words to come up with a fun and easy-to-remember name.

If you like earwarmers, it has a matching earwarmer. Get the pattern HERE.

It’s a fun and easy pattern to use up some aran/worsted yarn from your stash and the sizing options give you a wide range to choose from.

You can download an AD FREE printable version of this pattern for a small fee in my Ravelry store HERE. If you prefer Etsy, you can get it HERE.

Difficulty:

Easy/Advanced Beginner

Size:

This pattern has instructions for 6 sizes, starting from 6-12 months size to adult size (the adult size and child size has 2 different sizing options)

Materials needed:

5 mm (H) Hook
Approximately 85-155 yards / 77-143 meters (42-80 grams) of worsted/aran weight yarn (I used Paintbox Simply Aran), depending on the size chosen:
6-12 months: 42-45 grams
Toddler: 45-50 grams
Child: 55-60 grams
Adult: 60-80 grams
Yarn needle for weaving in ends
Scissors
Optional: Faux fur or traditional pompom
Stitch markers

Stitches used and Abbreviations:

CH = chain

ST/STS = stitch/stitches

SP = space

SK = skip

SLST = slip stitch

SC = single crochet

SCBLO =single crochet back loop only

HDC = half double crochet

HDC3LO = half double crochet 3^rd loop only

HDC3LO2tog = 2 half double crochet sts in 3^rd loop only together

DC = double crochet

*-* =repeat pattern between these symbols

Additional terms/ Special Stitches:

Stitches in the HDC 3^rd loop only (HDC3LO):

Look at the top of the stitch and locate the sideways ”V”, bend the stitch to look at the back and you should see another ”V”. You will be working into the back loop of that ”V”. This creates a nice, braided look.

Gauge:

4 HDC = 1”

Additional notes:

If a row/round starts with a Chain 1, that is not counted as a stitch.
Slip stitch doesn’t count as a stitch.
Chain 3 always count as double crochet
US terms used throughout
The hat is made from the bottom to top, starting with the brim which is worked in rows. The main body of the beanie is worked in rounds.
When you’re about to work in a stitch with a stitch marker in it, just simply take it out, I won’t include a separate note for that J
Notes are written in (brackets) to help you through the pattern.
You can start each round as I did in the pattern or you can use a standing stitch or chains, it’s totally up to you!
