Hi makers! I am so excited to share this fun textured and super squishy knit beanie with you! If you follow me on Instagram, you know I am just now dabbling into the knit pattern world. I picked up knitting almost 2 years ago now, and boy do I LOVE IT!!! I have learned quickly that making knit beanies is one of my favorite things to do. I love how quickly they work up, how cozy the fit is, and honestly just the overall look of knit stitches. Now don’t get me wrong, I am still the cool crochet lady but knit has a big place in my heart now too ๐
This is a great beanie for someone like me who loves a good quick and fun project. I whipped this baby up in less then 2 hours! Once you get the round repeats down this pattern is a breeze ๐

Feel Free to top your beanie with some poms! I tried this beanie out in two styles, this way with 2 small 3 inch poms midway on my beanie to create this fun double pom look.
You can find these small poms in my shop, these are small 3 inch toffee poms that I am wearing. I used my detachable poms so I can add or remove the double pom look whenever I like. ๐
Or you can also go with the classic one pom at the top ๐ In this picture I am rocking my large 5 inch black pom! Totally in love with this burnt orange and black pom combo <3
No matter what way you wear it please share it with me on INSTAGRAM, I would love to see all your bubble beanies! Be sure to use #CraftyTribe
