Textured crochet beanies are always my ultimate favorite, especially when it involves learning a new stitch and the Harper Beanie is definitely a beanie on that list!! One of my favorite ways to add a little extra pop to a beanie is by adding a fun button. The Harper Beanie is created by using a fun stitch, it is typically used to decrease a piece a crochet fabric to make it slower, but that isn't they case in this beanie, it is used to create the beautiful texture by the way it is worked. The Harper Beanie is so fun to make and I am reminded every time that I make this beanie!
