A festive crochet beanie made with beautiful hand-dyed Holly Berry yarn. This hat looks just as striking in solid colors, where the textured stitch pattern stands out even more clearly.
The stitch pattern is inspired by English rib and works up easily and quickly — your beanie can be finished in just a couple of hours.

Because it works up fast and stretches beautifully in both length and width, this beanie is a great choice for a warm and cozy handmade gift.
