Free Crochet Pattern – Chic Textures Headwarmer

Now that the holiday season has come to a close, it’s time for ELK Studio’s annual Make It For Me Event. During the month of January, Kathy spotlights free crochet patterns on her blog from many of your favorite designers. Each of these designs is a great project to make for yourself after spending countless days crocheting holiday gifts for others.

Last year I designed the Aveline Scarf, a stylish, reversible accessory that can be made with any weight of yarn.

This year I polled the A Crocheted Simplicity Crochet Community Group on Facebook and asked what you’d like to see me design for this event. Several of you requested a cabled headwarmer so I designed the Chic Cabled Headwarmer. But knowing that there are many who may not like cables, or are intimidated by them, I decided to come up with another headwarmer so no one would be left out. 

Without further ado, this is the Chic Textures Headwarmer I designed to coordinate with the Scarfie Bandana Cowl. Using just one ball of Lion Brand Touch of Alpaca in Goldenrod, I was able to make both the Chic Cabled Headwarmer and Chic Textures Headwarmer!
