Versatile Comfy Crochet Beanies for Winter

Cosy crochet beanies are a must-have in fall/winter season. If you haven’t looked into your wardrobe yet, to see if you have all the necessities, do it now! Don’t let cold weather surprise you and have warm clothes at hand.
I would argue that accessories are the most favorite projects of the season, so grab your crochet hook and prepare your stash. Your choices vary from very basic designs that you can pull off in one evening, to more intricate stitches, such as cables and celtic weave. Warm handmade beanie will be a great companion for outdoor adventures, ski trips or wandering around the city. Take a look at examples below to check the current trends and search for links to free patterns under the pictures.
