The Carousel Beanie is a beautiful textured beanie that I love to make. The beanie got it's name because just like a carousel the texture is repeated all the way around and it never ends. This beanie is beautiful for girls of all ages and of course with my love of the color pink, it makes it a little more elegant. This beanie has a lace like texture so it gives a beautiful texture with worsted weight yarn but still keep the head warm on those chilly days. This beanie design uses simple crochet stitches to work up plus a front post stitch to give it a raised texture. Get ready to get hooked on the Carousel Beanie.
