Jessica Cooper Is it Apple Picking season yet?? Fall is approaching and although the weather is still warm, I’m dreaming of apple cider, bon fires, and pumpkin patches. And this cute little Apple Beanie Crochet Pattern will be just perfect for all of those activities.
Last year I put together a Pumpkin Beanie Pattern in several sizes. This year, I thought, how cute would a little apple beanie pattern be?? You can make it in 5 different sizes, from newborn to 2 years old.
The apple beanie is worked using my Basic Hat Beanie Crochet Pattern with post stitches at the bottom. That comes in 8 sizes, but I eliminated the bigger sizes for this pattern. If you are interested in making in bigger sizes, just refer to that pattern.
I like the post stitches brim on hats because it gives them a nice stretch. It also adds some texture without complicating the pattern.
What is needed
Worsted weight yarn is used for this pattern. I used Red Heart With Love. You will need an H 5mm hook for the beanie and a G 4mm hook for the stem and leaf.
The apple beanie is worked first in red, or whatever color you choose. Then make the leaf in green, then the stem in brown. Sew both items on to the top center of the beanie.
