Bridge to the Castle Crochet Beanie by Kate Veselunka
What is Being Made
The Bridge to the Castle is a crochet beanie designed by Kate Veselunka, created in 2016. This intermediate-level hat is sized for adult females with a head circumference of approximately 22 inches (56 cm) and a depth of approximately 7.5 inches (19 cm). The finished beanie is a lightweight, breathable hat suitable for warm weather wear, made from a single skein of yarn.
Crochet Techniques and Stitches
This crochet pattern employs fundamental crochet techniques appropriate for intermediate crafters. The primary stitch used in construction is the double crochet (dc), which forms the structural foundation of the beanie. The pattern utilizes standard crochet abbreviations and terminology written in US terms, including techniques such as skipping stitches (sk) and working in rounds (Rnd) to create the circular crown and body of the hat. The pattern is written with clear stitch counts and row-by-row instructions to guide crafters through the construction process.
Materials and Yarn Specifications
The Bridge to the Castle beanie is designed to be created with 100% mercerized cotton yarn in a 4 ply weight (fingering yarn weight). The recommended yarn is Begonia by YarnArt, which provides 185 yards (169 meters) per 1.76 ounce (50 gram) skein. Only one skein is required to complete an adult female-sized beanie.
The pattern specifies a gauge of 32 double crochet stitches by 12 rows equals 4 by 4 inches (10 by 10 centimeters). To achieve the correct finished size, following this gauge is essential. A 2.2 to 2.5 millimeter crochet hook is recommended to obtain the specified gauge, though the pattern notes to use the size needed to match your personal gauge.
Yarn Substitution Options
While Begonia by YarnArt is the specified yarn for results most similar to the photographed sample, the designer provides acceptable substitutes for crafters seeking alternatives. These include Friends Cotton 8/4 by Hobbii and Catania Fine by Schachenmayr, both of which offer similar fiber content and weight characteristics suitable for this intermediate crochet project.
