Chunky Cabled Crochet Beanie Pattern

I am so proud of this hat pattern! I usually knit hats because I prefer the knit look… but I know you guys have been asking for a crochet beanie pattern and I really didn’t want to disappoint! I was waiting until I came up with a pattern that I just loved before sharing it. It took a while, but I finally designed a crochet hat pattern that I couldn’t wait to post! This hat is chunky and warm, and most of all super cute! It builds up quick too, which means you can knock off a few holiday gifts within hours.
