My brother Andrew is a prize-winning snowboarder, and apparently this kind of crocheted beard thing is a popular fashion accessory on the mountain. He has been pestering me for ages to make him one of these, so guess what he got for an early Christmas present before he jet-setted off to spend the next few months chasing the snow around the northern hemisphere. By all accounts, Anda’s Beardy has made him even more popular among his friends, and they all want one too. Make your own!

The beauty of this Beardy is that it has toggles which means it can be attached to any crochet hat. And it takes hardly any time to make, so if you need a quick last minute gift idea, this could be it!
