A snippet from the new Beanie Pattern

It is not my hope to offer you patterns, and pattern generators, and video stitch guides merely for you to mimic what I’ve created.

No — my dreams are bigger than that. It is my wish to give you the tools you require to design for yourself . Art of Crochet has a Beanie Pattern Set up for sale. This is the first fully functional mix-and-match pattern set we are releasing. If you love what we are doing — please support our endeavors by purchasing your own copy today.

Here is a peek at what is inside:

Pattern Notes:

(1) The beginning rounds of the hat, which contain all of the increases, are worked in the back loop only without a turn.

(2) The increases are placed in different locations for each round — this creates a near perfect circle. When the increases are stacked up on each other, it creates corners and the result is a polygon with straight edges. In addition, the increases are much more noticeable when they are near each other, yet almost invisible when well interspersed.
