Wayward Beanie Crochet Pattern

The Wayward Beanie Crochet Pattern is the perfect winter beanie! It’s textured & warm with it’s tightly woven stitches. I love the combination of vertical and horizontal lines.

This hat is the 14th pattern (and final) in the Crochet Along for a Cause. We made 1 hat per week to donate to a cancer center, school, or homeless shelter all summer long. You can find all the details and hat patterns HERE.

Leave a long end for sewing.

Use a yarn needle to weave the long end in and out of the top of the stitches in the last round.

Cinch the top closed.

(HERE is a photo tutorial showing how I sew the top of a beanie)

Use the beginning end to sew the small space left from joining round 1 closed.

Weave in all the ends.
