Today we have a guest on the blog – please welcome Ellie to the blog! A self proclaimed Yarn Punk and yarn Enthusiast! Today she brings you her Heart to Heart beanie; a perfect addition to your winter wardrobe with a little heart included! Made, I hope you all enjoy!
Meet Ellie:
Hello! I am Ellie and I am passionate about inspiring others to find their creative niche. I want everyone to have fun, both creating their makes and then taking them outside! I recently ended a year of #Vanlife with my husband. During our year of travel I discovered more about crochet than the last ten years combined. I am a self-taught crocheter and am always hungry to learn more. I decided to start a blog to share what I have learned and more fully join this creative community. When I am not crocheting, I am mountain biking, rock climbing, mountaineering, hiking, backpacking, paddling, and generally spending time outdoors in my local community. I want to bring an outdoorsy vibe to the crochet world and hope you love my patterns! You can find me at my blog hookyarncarabiner.com, on Instagram @hookyarncarabiner, and on Pinterest @
DESCRIPTION
The Heart to Heart Beanie is a lightweight beanie with a beautiful heart
detail on each side made with specifically placed bobble stitches. The
natural fibers with keep you warm and dry, while not overheating you.
Natural fibers and hand dyed yarn is so yummy!
MATERIALS
● Whidbey Isle Yarns Hand Dyed Washable Merino (Weight: 3/Dk –
250 yds) I took advantage of a lovely skein of hand dyed, blue yarn I
had, but any natural fiber DK/sport/lightweight yarn will work perfectly
for the Heart to Heart Beanie!
● Size I (5.5 mm) crochet hook
● Stitch marker (I often use a safety pin, but these are so cute!)
ABBREVIATIONS
● ch: chain
● st: stitch
● sl st: slip stitch
● sc: single crochet
● flo: front loops only (tutorial)
● hdc: half-double crochet
● b: bobble stitch 1. Yarn Over (YO), insert hook in next stitch, YO, pull
up a loop, YO, pull through two loops. 2. (YO, insert hook in same
stitch, YO, pull up a loop, YO, pull through two loops) two times 3.
YO, and draw through all loops on hook (tutorial)
Let’s Get Started!
DIRECTIONS
BRIM
This piece is worked flat. Once finished, check the brim against your own
head. The fit should be snug, as the natural fiber has a lot of stretch.
ch 10
Size Adult Small (~130 yards):
● Row 1: ch 1. sc across. (10)
● Row 2-50: ch 1. sc in flo across. (10)
Sc the two ends of the brim together. Do not fasten off.
Size Adult Medium (~150 yards):
● Row 1: ch 1. sc across. (10)
● Row 2-60: ch 1. sc in flo across. (10)
Sc the two ends of the brim together. Do not fasten off.
Size Adult Large (~200 yards):
● Row 1: ch 1. sc across. (10)
● Row 2-70: ch 1. sc in flo across. (10)
Sc the two ends of the brim together. Do not fasten off.
You will now turn and work across the top side of your brim and finish the
main part of the beanie. Because bobble stitches form away from you, on
the wrong side of your piece, make sure your seam is on the inside of the
beanie as you crochet around the brim.
Kitty stitch marker came with the yarn. Stitch markers are for crocheters
too!
