Bow Beanie

So technically this is called a butterfly stitch. But I think it looks like a bow. So…

I used this FREE pattern.

Alli Crafts has a bunch of free crochet patterns that are really cute actually. Go check her out.

This pattern is fast, easy, and creates a simply beautiful hat.

If you are beginner I recommend using her 3 month pattern. She lists more details like how many stitches you should have in each round. She doesn’t do that for the newborn pattern.

My only changes to the pattern were that I crocheted in the top loops only {which might have made my hat slightly larger than newborn?} and I chained two at the start of each round instead of three.

I think it made my seam less noticeable. Can you spot it?

I used Vanna White acrylic yarn in linen and olive. I really like the colors in her line and the yarn is quite soft. Plus…with it being acrylic, you know it’s very washable too. 🙂

The lovely green one is for our lucky little girl, due on St. Patrick’s Day.

And the white one is for someone else who is also due soon. 🙂 I get to meet her this weekend, along with some other fun bloggers.

Don’t you think this linen color will go nicely on a little blonde head of Willard hair? 🙂

The idea for the serged fabric bow are from MADE and the origami box instructions are from Lorajean’s Magazine.

Have a great weekend!

I’ll be back tomorrow with a guest post and then on Monday for my Nesting Series!
