Oh, hey, you. Yeah - YOU. Come over here… Do you want a free crochet pattern? I thought so! You look like a cool person who loves fabulous things. The Rainbow Elf Hat is totally free, and isn’t it gorgeous? The beanie is crocheted bottom up with DK weight cotton yarn and will fit an Adult Medium – perfect for Aussie Christmas or Renaissance Fairs. This project is a great way to use up your scraps! You will need to know how to work in joined rounds.

Our patterns are written a little differently with pattern beginner and neurodivergent crafters in mind. The abbreviated instructions are followed by a breakdown in italics making it easier to understand what you need to crochet in each round. If you’ve had trouble reading crochet patterns in the past, we hope that you’ll give ours a try!
