Basic Beanies - Free crochet pattern, part of the 2020 Charity Stash Bash CAL

Image
Hello everyone, it's time for our second installment of our Charity Stash Bash CAL.  If you are knew to my blog then you might like to check out the link below, which will give you all the details. This month we will be making beanies.  Hats are always a sought after item in the shoe boxes every year and are another quick and easy make, great for stash busting.  I have designed this pattern to be a base for your own creativity. The hats are very basic giving you plenty of scope to adapt and embellish the pattern to make it unique.  You can easily add stripes, pom poms, tassels or stitch on a cute flower or applique. The pdf for this pattern is available free for Crochet for a Cause for 1 week only, from 15th June 2020 Helpful Links... 2020 Charity Stash Bash Operation Christmas Child US Operation Christmas Child UK Ravelry pattern page An ad free pdf version of this pattern is available in my online stores, thank you for supporting my work...

Hello friends.  I wanted to design something quick and easy, that would make a great Mother's Day gift and after making a pair of boot cuffs as part of a weekly CAL on Ravelry, I thought I would have a go at designing my own.  You all know how I love a granny square and putting the two together, I came up with these super cute Granny Boot Cuffs.  Then it occured to me, "why have only one Mother's Day gift idea?", so instead we will be having a mini series of patterns coming out over the next few weeks, so make sure you are subscribed and don't miss out on any posts.
