Free Crochet Pattern – “Vixen Beanie”

Last week I shared the Vixen Wristers – Free Crochet Pattern with you all, and now I’m excited to share a matching hat – The “Vixen Beanie”. Made in the same style as the Vixen Wristers, the Vixen Beanie works up quickly, and uses less than 1 skein of yarn. With a regular 6oz. skein of Caron Simply Soft, you’ll be able to make two hats. A skein of Simply Soft Party (that’s what I used), will get you one hat. Instructions are included for both a slouchy and non-slouchy beanie.

I love to see pictures of your finished items so please share!! You can add the pattern to your Ravelry queue and favorites here: Free Crochet Pattern – Vixen Beanie
