Wow, I can’t believe how fast this year is flying by! It is already November, which means that I have a couple of holiday patterns coming up for you guys. However, I have one more fall pattern to share first! Since my last free pattern was a knit beanie, I decided to make a crochet beanie pattern this time for those of you who prefer to crochet! As you may already know, I love cables and bobbles…. which is why I decided to make this pattern with a combination of both of my favourite crochet stitches! The result is a chunky, super warm beanie that is perfect for keeping your head and ears protected from the chill this fall and winter.
I crocheted the samples for this hat with Knit Picks Twill, in Gold Rush, which a gorgeous rusty orange colour. The combination of bobbles and cables, plus the colour reminded me of pumpkins ready to be harvested for the fall – hence the name, The Harvest Beanie! I hope you enjoy crocheting this pattern as much as I did creating it!

The Harvest Beanie Crochet Hat Pattern Instructions:
Notes before you start:
- The pattern is written for both sizes using brackets as follows: Child (Adult). For example, where the instructions say, Brim will measure approximately 13 (15) inches, this means that the brim will measure 13 inches for the child size, and 15 inches for the adult size.
- When making a bobble stitch, the bobble will naturally pop to the inside of the hat. Simply use your finger to push the stitches through and pop the bobble out to the outside of the hat after making a bobble stitch to resolve this.
Brim:
The brim is worked flat and then the ends are joined together to form a circle.
Chain 11.
Row 1: SC in second ch from hook and in each remaining ch; turn (10 sts total).

Do not fasten off. Fold brim in half, lining up stitches of foundation chain row and last row to form a loop. CH1 and seam ends together by slip stitching through stitches of the foundation chain row and last row. Continue to Body of Hat.
