Hello, how are you all doing?

This is Bindu again

Today, I'm sharing the free pattern and step-by-step tutorial for my Unique Wheat Stitch Baby Beanie. Sized perfectly to fit a 3- to 6-month-old baby, this beanie uses a gorgeous crossover puff stitch that creates a beautiful, thick "wheat" texture.

It's one of my favorite small projects to date, and I've broken down exactly how to make it below. If you prefer learning visually, be sure to scroll down and check out the full video tutorial embedded at the bottom of this post

I bought this pretty yarn from Michaels; it is from Loops and Threads. The variegated purple was talking to me. So I really had to buy it.

You know, i was working with several types of puff stitches recently.

So tried this particular crossed puff stitch. Then I was crocheting to see how a scarf in this pattern looks. Then my hubby said, "Looks like wheat".

That made me go and search online to see if there is a wheat stitch.

Of course, there is!!! Mine is not exactly the wheat stitch they were showing.

Anyway, the video is recorded, and I just published it: If you like a lot of texture, go ahead and have a look.
