Sagittarius Beanie

The Sagittarius Beanie is a classic toque written for 3 sizes that will fit most teen and adult heads.

The theme of the #MyZodiacSweater collection is “colorwork made easy”, and the Sagittarius is no exception. So, I’ve come up with a technique which I think you’ll find both fun and intriguing.

The thin and crisp arrow motifs are not applied directly onto the fabric using a technique such as surface crochet, rather they are embedded into the fabric as you go.

Each round is worked normally one after the other. The secret is a combination of front loops, back loops, and chains of various lengths.

You start from the tip of the crown and work your way downwards in a circle mainly in eSC in FLO. Once you reach the full beanie circumference, you stop increasing and start working the arrow motifs.

The beanie rim is finished off with my signature faux-knit detailing.

Like most CrochetHighway patterns, the Sagittarius Beanie comes with step-by-step instructions and a clear and to-the-point video tutorial on how to make the arrow motifs.
