Welcome the fall season with the Autumn Breezes crochet pattern Mosaic Hat by Marly Bird! This project is a great way to create a beanie that is not only warm but also ever-so-beautiful, with its mosaic look. It’s the perfect pattern for those looking to learn a new technique or make an eye-catching and functional accessory.
Materials You Need to Make the Hat
For best results, choose worsted-weight yarn in two contrasting colors. Marly Bird used WeCrochet Brava Tweed for durability and a soft touch. You’ll also need a 5.5 mm crochet hook, a tapestry needle to weave in ends, and optionally leather tags or fake pom-poms to give your crochet beanie that professional finish.
Crocheting the Autumn Breezes Hat
The Autumn Breezes Hat is constructed in two main sections: the brim and the body. First, you crochet the brim flat in rows and then seam together to form a ring.
From there, you’ll work into the long edge of the brim to build the body of the hat. The body of the hat is worked in rounds with an invisible join to keep the mosaic pattern seamless. The geometric design is made with mosaic double crochet.
Mosaic Crochet for Beginners
Mosaic crochet may sound daunting but it’s easier than you think! Plus, The Autumn Breezes Hat is an excellent opportunity for beginners to learn this technique.
Unlike other colorwork techniques, this technique uses just one color per round. The pattern is very repetitive as you work it with double crochet stitches made into the front loop of the stitch two rows below.
Visual Guidance with Video Tutorial
For visual learners, Marly Bird has put together a step-by-step video tutorial. It will be especially helpful for beginners and those who are not familiar with mosaic crochet.
