It’s been especially chilly here in our tiny hills cottage in South Australia recently. The daytime temperature has been lucky to reach 10ºC (50ºF) and we’ve been experiencing lots of strong winds and icy rains. With the family bonfire night in a few weeks some warm handmade crochet beanies are exactly what we need.

Here are my top 10 favourite crochet beanie patterns, some free and others costing just a dollar or two via download. I’ve included some of the popular slouch style hats for the young at heart and two classic cloche style beanies.

From Left to Right and Top to Bottom are…

Metropolitan Ave. Hat      Embellished Beanie     Magic Slouch

Moroccan Midnight Slouch                    Fallen Leaves Slouch

*Blossom Beanie                                             *Pop Star Beanie

 *Cluster Stitch Cloche        *Winter Warmer Hat        *Cloche

The first five patterns are free patterns from Lion Brand (free account required), Garn Studio and Moogly. The last five patterns are links to paid epatterns from Leisure Arts.

I rather like the colours of the Moroccan Slouch but the Cluster Stitch Cloche looks very warm and cosy.

Which beanie is your favourite? Are you a cloche or a slouch kinda gal, or perhaps you prefer a classic style? Let me know in the comments below.
