A CROCHET BEANIE TO START OFF
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 @crosheille I saw in one of her posts, where she used the back loop single crochet to make the band for her daughters hats. I loved it and wanted to try it with mine.
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 ❤️

Hello @blezyn
How nice that you were able to resume your knitting, I haven't knitted for three months due to an injury in my right hand, so I understand you perfectly when you say you wanted to knit. I am also making a list of everything I want to do once I recover.
How beautiful the hat turned out, plus you made it in a super combinable color. I have not knit in alpine stitch, making a note to add it to my future knitting list, I will surely make a hat.
Thanks for sharing.
Greetings.
Oh I'm sorry about your hand. I hope you recover soon so you can resume knitting. I can't wait to see all the beautiful ideas you have.
I'm glad you like the hat. Thanks for your comment.
Beanie so cute
Thank you!
Yay I’m so glad you used the stitch!! 😃
It turned out very pretty and I’m so glad you love it. Enjoy your beautiful handy work ~ 😘
It was nice trying something new and I love the outcome. Thank you!
For sure ;)
Ohhhhh so curious, do you have a link to this alpine stitch (did I asked this before and forgot it??? Oh dear I have a deja vu 😳) I love the stitch pattern. It looks perfect on the beanie like tiny cables.
I'm not sure you've asked for the link before.
I used to do this thing back then o..
I miss my childhood knitting skills.
I guess I wasn't encouraged..
One day I was knitting endlessly without knowing what it was I was doing just straight.. I was told I was making a wrapper.. E pain me. Hehe
Nice piece of work.
Oh dear, sorry you weren't encouraged. It's not too late to start over you know.
😂😂 I can imagine the realization when they said it was wrapper. I mean you could have easily used it as a blanket so I guess it's not so bad.
Haha.. E go hard small..
Yeah.. It wasn't wasted
I served as a pot holder..
You know when you wanna carry a hot pot from the stove.. Yeah..
Blanket ke.. Lol.
It wasn't that big.. It just had no shape..😂😂
Beautiful thanks for sharing
When will u make one for me
