Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog. I trust you’re all doing great. It’s been a while since I posted any of my crochet creations, that's because I haven't made any new crochet pieces in a while - for justifiable reasons. I am back now, I can’t say how much I have missed putting my creativity into use.
I have missed creating new pieces. For the time I was away, I would have so many ideas and be a little sad that I couldn't work on them. I did write most of it down, so now I am going to begin with bringing those ideas to life.
To start, I made a beanie. You may want to know why I chose a beanie first. Well, I made a bucket hat recently. It was nice but it didn’t come out exactly how i wanted. I was going to make another one, but with a different design.
I got the yarn I needed and was about to begin making the bucket hat. When i thought to myself, “you don’t have any beanies, why not make one instead”. That is exactly what I did. The bucket hat I was going to make was supposed to have an alpine stitch design, so I used the same design for this beanie.
I can't tell you how happy I felt being able to make something again after a long while. I finished the beanie in less than 5 hours. Truth is I didn't keep track of time, it went by faster than I noticed.
The process of making the beanie is quite simple. I used a back loop single crochet for the band, which was inspired by 
The end result was satisfactory. After making the band, I joined to form a circle and started working on my Alpine stitch design. I didn’t use any pattern for this hat. I was basically doing the necessary calculations as I went.
As I was getting closer to my desired length, I started reducing the width to make sure the top is fitted enough. Then I closed off the top and Ta Da! My beanie was ready, I love this beanie and I think I finally made something I am going to keep for myself. I hope you like it too.
Thanks for stopping by ❤️
