Chalet Beanie – Free Pattern

April 23, 2025 by Shellie Wilson

I recently had the pleasure of crocheting the Chalet Hat, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. This crochet hat pattern boasts an “easy” skill level, making it accessible even for those with limited crochet experience. Let me share my personal style review of this cozy and fashionable headwear.

Skill Level: ?????

As someone who enjoys crochet but doesn’t consider myself an expert, I appreciated the simplicity of the Chalet Hat pattern. The clear and concise instructions made the process a breeze, and I was able to complete this project in no time. Even if you’re a beginner looking to tackle your first crochet hat, this pattern provides a reassuring and rewarding experience.

Design: ?????

The design of the Chalet Hat is where it truly shines. Crafted with Local Grown® yarn in a delightful Vanilla Bean shade, this hat exudes a rustic yet sophisticated charm. The rich, earthy tones of the yarn add a touch of warmth and coziness, perfect for those chilly days.

Yarn Used:

Local Grown® yarn not only contributed to the hat’s aesthetics but also enhanced its comfort and quality. The yarn’s softness and texture created a hat that was as comfortable to wear as it was stylish. Although it comes at a higher price point, investing in this yarn was a choice I didn’t regret, as it added to the overall luxury of the finished product.

Pattern Clarity and Corrections: 

Navigating the Chalet Hat pattern was a pleasant experience, thanks to the well-structured instructions. I was pleased to find that there were no reported pattern corrections, which is a testament to the pattern’s reliability. The pattern emphasized the importance of checking gauge, ensuring that my hat would fit perfectly.

Fit and Comfort: 

The Chalet Hat pattern is designed for adults and provided me with a finished circumference of approximately 19 inches (48.5 cm). The fit was snug yet comfortable, offering warmth without feeling too tight. I appreciated that this one-size-fits-all design accommodated a variety of head sizes with ease.

The Chalet Hat was a delightful experience, and I’m thrilled with the result. This crochet pattern not only allowed me to create a stylish and cozy accessory but also provided a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. Whether you’re crafting it for yourself or as a thoughtful gift for a loved one, the Chalet Hat is sure to become a cherished addition to any winter wardrobe.

So, if you’re looking for an enjoyable crochet project that combines ease with elegance, I highly recommend the Chalet Hat pattern. With its rustic charm and comfortable fit, it’s the perfect accessory to keep you warm and stylish during the colder months. Happy crocheting! ?????

The Forest Valley Shawl – Crochet Pattern

This is one of those shawl patterns that feels instantly calming, even before you pick up a hook. The Forest Valley Shawl (After Party Pattern 23) by Scheepjes, available through Jimmy Beans Wool, has a very gentle, nature-inspired feel that really lives up to its name.

What I love about this design is how wearable it is. Some shawls are beautiful but awkward to style; this one feels practical in the best way. It drapes naturally, sits nicely on the shoulders, and works just as well for everyday wear as it does for something a little dressier. It’s the sort of piece you grab when the air cools in the evening and you don’t want anything heavy.

From a crochet perspective, this is a lovely “slow and steady” project. The stitch pattern has enough variation to keep your interest, but it’s not overly complicated. It’s very much the kind of crochet you can sink into — the sort that lets your mind wander while your hands keep moving. Perfect for quiet afternoons or evening crochet sessions.

Skill-wise, this one is best suited to confident beginners moving into intermediate territory. If you’re comfortable following a pattern and keeping your stitch count in check, you’ll enjoy this a lot. It’s also a great pattern for appreciating beautiful yarn — especially colourways that shift and flow, as the shawl really lets them shine.

Overall, the Forest Valley Shawl is one of those free crochet patterns that feels thoughtful and soothing. It’s wearable, relaxing to make, and finished with a look that feels timeless rather than trendy. If you enjoy shawls that are as comforting to crochet as they are to wear, this one is definitely worth bookmarking.
