Sticks N Stones Crochet Beanie

This is my most favorite Beanie Pattern!. Not only that it is easy to work, you have many other reasons to like this beanie!. It can be a unisex beanie and the color options to work this beanie is endless. It looks great in any color combinations. It works up really quick!. It require less yarn. Do you need anymore reasons?. So without any further delays let’s start working on this beanie!

I named it as ‘Sticks n Stones’ Beanie because we work pebble stitch and half double crochet worked in 3rd loop, which gives the look of sticks and stones!

In this post I have shown you how to work this beanie for a child/teen size. How ever if you want to work this same pattern for Adult size and Newborn size, you can download the pattern bundle for working the same hat for Adult, Child and Newborn size from my Etsy Page. Link down below!

In this pattern we will work with two colors of yarn. However you can make the entire beanie in a single color as well.

You will just pull up the color you will use each time at the start of each Round!.
