Diamond Beanie

Printable PDF crochet pattern.
 
CROCHET PATTERN
A Unique Construction: This isn't your standard top-down hat. The crown is worked in the round, but the body and ribbing are worked sideways in rows. Why the switch? This clever construction means that if you use a self-striping yarn, you’ll achieve incredible vertical stripes down the side of your hat!

Versatile Options: Customize your look to fit your life. The pattern includes instructions for both a classic closed-top beanie and a trendy messy-bun version.

Everything You Need: This is a quick, satisfying project requiring under 220 yards of worsted weight yarn. As a special bonus, the pattern includes a link to a free downloadable template so you can create the perfect faux fur pom-pom to top it off.
