Keep Warm In Style With A Crochet Beanie Hat

This free crochet beanie hat pattern is called Simple Sweetness and would make a lovely handmade gift. Crochet gifts I think are the best gifts! If you get started now you can have a handmade holiday.  The month of November I have teamed up with Thirty Handmade Days and Your Homebased Mom to share over 100 handmade gift ideas. You won’t want to miss a day of these free crochet patterns!

Thank you Skip to My Lou for inviting me to guest post on your blog!  It’s always great fun to share my crochet with friends!

If you’ve ever been to my blog, you’ll know that one of my favorite things to design is crochet beanies!  Simple Sweetness is a great hat with just enough texture to give it more than  a simple beanie look. I’m one who thinks you can never have enough crochet hats, and I bet once you read through the pattern there may be some places you could change up the color scheme and it would take on a totally different look!  Before long…..you’ll have more than you can count!
