I just loved the stitch used in the Galloway Fingerless Gloves so much, I decided they must have a matching beanie! Who doesn’t love a gorgeous matching set after all?! I’m a big fan of cozy beanies and the Galloway Beanie does not disappoint!

Simple Style

The Galloway Beanie use a unique ribbing stitch with gorgeous texture giving it extra warmth.

The pattern is worked as a rectangle then seamed together along the side and cinched at the top.

I used *WeCrochet’s *City Tweed Aran/HW yarn in Snowshoe. This yarn is not only gorgeous, but soft and warm.

A special thank you to *WeCrochet for providing the yarn for this project and sponsoring the Fall Into Autumn Blog Hop.

The Pattern

Adult small

Ch 41

Row 1: Hdc into the second ch from the hook, and each ch across, ch1, turn (40).

Row 2: Hdc3rdfl into the first st, hdc3rdfl in each st across, ch1, turn (40).

Repeat Row 2 until desired length for circumference.

For the Adult Small I did 45 rows for 18″ length.

To ensure a good fit the length in inches is more important than the row count. Definitely go ahead and do more or less rows to reach the correct measurement.

After final row, leave long tail for seaming together and closing the top of the hat.

If you are folding the bottom up for a brim you can place a few sts around to hold, or leave as is so there is always the choice of folded up or not.

Closing The Top

Weave the tail with needle through the top row of the hat. Cinching as you go helps keep it tight. Pull the tail tightly to close the top. Make a few stitches through the top to ensure a tight close.

Weave in all ends, and add your pom pom if desired, and you’re done!

All Set!!!
