The Hive Beanie is a unisex crochet hat pattern for the whole family, packed with texture and perfect for stash-busting or thoughtful handmade gifts. This design is worked flat and seamed, then topped with a neat gathered crown.

Using the almond stitch, a confident beginner-friendly textured stitch made by simply tweaking the basics, this pattern is ideal for crocheters ready to expand their skills and create something that really pops. I have linked videos to how to work this stitch combination.
