Cobnut Beanie

Design by Gemma Williams from Concrete Gems

Keep everyone in the family warm this autumn with the Cobnut Beanie, a beautifully textured crochet hat made in the pique stitch. Worked side to side and finished with a folded brim, it’s a satisfying make with a lovely tactile fabric that looks as good as it feels.

The simple, repetitive stitch pattern makes this an easy, almost meditative crochet, while the six-size range means you can make it again and again, from a tiny newborn hat right through to a cosy topper for the biggest head in the house.
