The Alpine Stripe Beanie is made with Red Heart Heat Wave, which warms up by up to 12 degrees under UV light – like sunlight! And of course, it’s still a warm and cozy acrylic even when the sun doesn’t come out to play. Check out my review of Red Heart Heat Wave on Yarnspirations.com!
And this hat is a reader request - to match the Alpine Pocket Scarf! Both the hat and scarf are completely unisex, and the fringe on the scarf is totally optional.
The Alpine Stripe Beanie features simple stripes to match the pockets on the Alpine Pocket Scarf, but you can omit them - or add more. Add extra row repeats to turn the beanie into a slouch, or add buttons to each side to hold your mask on while keeping your ears warm.
To make this pattern into a ponytail beanie, start by crocheting Rnd 4 around an elastic hairband, and then follow the instructions from there. To pom or not to pom - it's up to you!

A few years ago I started playing with the usual corner to corner pattern when I designed Fortune's Shawlette. It's made with the usual double crochet blocks, but instead of working 3 dc into each block, you work a dc, ch1, dc. This creates a light and airy block - especially when worked with a larger hook.
For the Whispering Arrows Shawl, I mixed this lace block with solid blocks and went back down to a smaller hook. This created a slightly more solid overall fabric - with a design you can only see under certain circumstances!
And wow does it look gorgeous in Red Heart It's A Wrap Rainbow!
The Whispering Arrows Shawl features simple chevron stripes with these solid blocks - adding subtle interest to the already stunning interplay of color. Of course, Red Heart It's A Wrap Rainbow comes in several lovely colorways, and Red Heart It's A Wrap Sprinkles works beautifully with this pattern as well. And every color will create a unique work of art!

Red Heart Heat Wave was a great worsted weight acrylic with a special ability - it gets warmer than other yarns when exposed to UV light! This makes for an extra cozy top you can wear out in the cold or at home on the couch. However, it is now discontinued - though there's a little bit left (as of this update) on Amazon. So for a substitute, Red Heart With Love is a great choice!
While I picked gray and white, you can make this crochet pullover pattern in your choice of colors. Self-striping yarn would be amazing for either the front/back or the lace bits! Or try using stripes for the front and back, or making them in two different colors for a reversible top with two looks!
This sweater works up quite quickly and is a great "relaxing" pattern for movie nights. The oversized fit takes care of any sizing worries for gifting too!
