The Country Spice Crochet Beanie has it all! Great texture, beautiful colors and cozy fit! So much fun to make in endless color combinations and easy to make!

The beanie works from the top down, then the textured stitch is then added. I call this stitch a horizontal single crochet that is worked between each post horizontally between a set of rows. I’ve included photos and a video tutorial on how to do this stitch (it’s so simple!).
