Free Crochet Hat Pattern – Through Thick and Thin Striped Beanie

The holiday season is fast approaching, and time is running out to get gifts for your family and friends. If you are like me, you enjoy giving a handmade gift more than a store bought one. Since men are notoriously hard to shop for, don’t you think they would enjoy a handmade crochet beanie made from the heart?!

This free crochet hat pattern is a great way to work up holiday gifts for the men (and ladies) in your life. It’s fairly quick to make ( I say fairly quick because there is a little bit of weaving in tails from the color changes), and would look great in a variety of colors. You can add this pattern to your Ravelry queue here: Free crochet pattern, Thick and Thin Striped Beanie

If you aren’t a crafty person yourself, or just don’t have the time to work up a hat for yourself, stop by my Etsy shop and do a little handmade shopping. You can feel good about supporting independent artists AND that your loved one is receiving a gift handmade with love!
