Shimmering Frost Beanie
A free version is also available.
Crocheting in the back loop of half double crochet stitches mimics the look of the stockinette stitch in knitting. Holding a jumbo yarn with a metallic thread in a different color creates a gentle shimmer on the surface of this hat.
Looking for the same style of beanie in a different weight of yarn? Try my free crochet patterns for the Simple Spiral Beanie in medium weight yarn or the Under the Bridge Hat in super bulky weight yarn.
