The Stitches

The Yarn

When I designed this hat, I used one of my favorite soft yarns, which is Wool Spun by Lion Brand Yarn!

It has an amazingly soft and thick which is perfect to keep your noggin warm! The color choices that Lion Brand offers are wonderful for this yarn line, so you will not be disappointed.

Update 2024: Since I wrote this post, Woolspun has sadly been discontinued, but I recommend using Paint Box Simply Chunky as a good replacement yarn. It has a similar texture and feel, so it would be perfect for this hat!

*Please keep in mind that if you use a different weight yarn (apart from a five weight) that the hat will not turn out the same as the photos.

Make This Beanie With or Without Buttons

I love a little something extra added to my crochet pieces, so I sewed on a coconut shell button onto this hat to do just that!

This particular button can be found in various sizes, and I think any size would look good on this hat. If you prefer a crochet hat without buttons, just leave the button off. It is as easy as that!
