Learn how to crochet a textured crochet beanie with this free step-by-step pattern and video tutorial in right and left-handed. If you’re looking for a cosy, textured project that works up beautifully, the Maplewood Beanie is the perfect make for your next hook-and-yarn session. This stitch creates a soft, sweeping texture reminiscent of feathers, both elegant and wonderfully squishy! The maplewood beanie is part of a series of patterns that I’ll also share in this post.
