My first hat of the year! It's August, so it's basically Fall, right?! I know some may want summer to slow down, but I'm all about Fall!

This beanie is part of the Christmas Hat Crochet Along that my blogger friends Katie (Salty Pearl Crochet) and Heather (The Unraveled Mitten) are hosting! It's a crochet along that includes 9 hat patterns from different designers - all hat patterns perfect for gift giving!

Get a head start on your Christmas making! Find all the patterns from the different designers here. (Runs through August 10th)

I have so many great things to say about this beanie! First of all, you can wear it TWO ways! You can wear it as a slouchy or fold up the brim for a less slouchy look.

Also, I love the pom pom addition! You can make a yarn pom pom but I love the look of a big poofy faux fur pom pom. 

Another great aspect? This beanie is so adorable and perfect for gift giving! Who wouldn't want a pretty textured crochet beanie to keep them warm? Make it in neutrals to go with practically any outfit/winter coat or use a color for a great pop of color to add to an outfit!

I used Yarn Bee's Rustic Romantic and the subtle flecks worked so well with the texture of this hat! It is a worsted weight yarn, and you may substitute any other worsted weight yarn. I would caution against I Love This Yarn! and Red Heart Super Saver, as those seem to be a 'thicker' worsted weight and can make your hat too large. However, I'm not the boss of your crochet and you can use what ever you'd like!
