The cutest pink beanie (made of chain)

🧶 Soft Beanie from Scrap Yarn

Hello, today I have something for those of you who have a small amount of thin, soft yarn (around 100g) and no idea what to make with it.

Since winter is here, my choice was obvious — another warm and cosy beanie.

🪡 A Different Approach

Instead of using a single thin strand of yarn, I decided to turn it into a chain first and use that as my main material. I had two balls (50g each) of very soft pink acrylic yarn, originally perfect for children’s accessories… but since I don’t have kids, I made a hat for myself instead.

To create the chain, I used a 3.5 mm crochet hook, and then switched to a 5.5 mm hook to make the beanie.

✨ Pattern & Tips

You can use almost any hat pattern for this project — the simpler, the better. I especially recommend using relief double crochet stitches for a nice texture.

A pom-pom is optional, and you can always add your own decorations to personalise the piece.

Happy crafting, and see you in the next post! 🙂
