The Pinetop Beanie Crochet Pattern uses one of my favorite stitches… the Overlapping Post Stitch. It’s creates an amazing texture for this beanie. This is an large adult size beanie, but it can be easily adjusted to fit any size.
This hat is the 9th pattern in the Crochet Along for a Cause. We are making 1 hat per week to donate to a cancer center all summer long. There’s always time to join! You can find all the details and hat patterns HERE.

Can you show a pic of the first Fp on row 4
You design some beautiful hats. I cannot imagine having such talent especially at such a young age. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much!!
I think that is a great idea . I had colon cancer twice and I lost my husband of 40 years marriage to lung cancer, he had throat cancer where he lost his voice
I love the patterns you have available but I really like to start my beanies from the top with a magic ring, can I still use your patterns and just go backwards?
I’m not sure how you would increase with this stitch.
I am new to this CAL. Would you give me the details. Will the hats go to my local hospitals, is there particular sizes to make, etc. thank you.

Can someone maybe help with my question? Many thanks.
I found the answer. I went back and read the original pattern instructions. The PDF version it was left out. ? It needs to be added to the PDF version.
Yes
Thank you I’ll try to start it after I finish my project i think it will be beuti beanie.
The patterns disappear off Facebook so fast I have s problem getting it all. I have to write it down the minute I see it, and sometimes I make a mistake – then I have to wait til the next week to finish my hat. I wish we could copy it to ourselves
Hi! The patterns are in the announcement section of the Facebook group. Or if you go to my page and then photos, you will see them there, too. The PDF is in the post for free as well.
Do you have pattern for a crochet scarf in pinetop beanie design? We liked this pattern very much.
No, I don’t. But I think that’s a great idea! I might have to make one 🙂
Hi! Thank you for this fabulous pattern. Q:I’m wanting to make this in a single color of variegated yarn. How many yards will I need?
Hi! I’m not 100% sure, but I’m thinking around 300 yds
