Diamond Beanie

Printable PDF crochet pattern.
 
CROCHET PATTERN: A fun diamond textured beanie pattern with bobble ribbing detail. This pattern requires under 220 yards of worsted weight yarn and includes a messy bun style option as well as a closed top option. The crown of the hat is worked in the round, then body and ribbing worked in rows. This allows for a unique vertical stripe effect if using a self-striping yarn. Also included in the pattern is a link for a tutorial on how to make your own faux fur pom-poms as well as a free downloadable pop-pom template.
