Diamond Beanie

CROCHET PATTERN: A diamond textured beanie with unique puff detail on the ribbing. This hat pattern requires under 220 yards of worsted weight yarn and includes instructions for both a messy bun style beanie as well as a closed beanie style. The pattern is worked in an unconventional method with the crown worked in rounds and then the body worked in rows. This allows for a unique vertical stripe effect if using a self-striping yarn.
*Free pom-pom template included with the pattern.
