Autumn Poppy Beanie Free Crochet Pattern
When the temperature starts to drop, there is nothing better to keep you cosy than a handmade beanie and with the Autumn Poppy Beanie being written for 7 different sizes, you can make one to fit all your loved ones.
This free crochet beanie pattern was designed using a specially hand dyed yarn by High Desert Yarn, and is releasing as part of the Autumn Poppy Crochet Along, where 4 patterns were designed to highlight the beauty hand dyed yarn.
As had dyed yarn can be quite an investment, both Joanna of High Desert Yarn and I wanted to keep the yardage used in our patterns as low as possible, so this crochet beanie hat pattern is stitched up side-to-side to make that yarn go further.

Recommended Yarn
This crochet beanie pattern was designed using DK weight/Size 3 yarn and can be recreated in any animal fibre or acrylic synthetic fibre that you can achieve the same gauge/tension with, without adjusting the pattern.

To achieve the same slouchy fit and drape of the crochet fabric, it is recommended to recreate the pattern with a Size 3/DK weight yarn.
I used Cloudcroft Super Wash Merino hand dyed by High Desert Yarn in 2 shades that gave a great finished look:
- Autumn Poppy – a variegated yarn where the colour pools as you stitch it up
- Rose – a semi tonal yarn that matches one of the shades in the Autumn Poppy
