The Houndstooth Crochet Beanie is a timeless and stylish accessory perfect for everyone! With its beautifully simple yet eye-catching pattern, this classic hat brings a touch of elegance and warmth to any wardrobe. The houndstooth stitch (basic single and double crochet stitches) creates a striking, textured design that looks intricate but is surprisingly easy to make.

We’ll start by crocheting the brim in rows, then join the ribbing to begin working the houndstooth pattern in the round, alternating colors every other round. To keep things simple, the yarn will be carried along, minimizing the number of ends to weave in.

Whether you’re crocheting it for yourself or as a thoughtful handmade gift, this beanie is a cozy, versatile staple that’s sure to become a favorite for chilly days!
