I’m so excited to share a new free crochet pattern with you today - the Oxford Chunky Basketweave Beanie! A bulky brother to the Basketweave Collection, this beanie is everything you want for cooler weather: warm, cozy, and oh-so-stylish. PLUS it’s made with chunky yarn, which means it’s a breeze to whip up!

For those of you crafting for the men in your life - this beanie is a great fit. The chunky texture makes it a hit for guys to wear for anything from weekend errands to chilly hikes.

The best part? This beanie is part of a whole crochet series that includes a scarf, headband, and beanie - all using the same gorgeous basketweave stitch. So, if you love this hat, you can easily make the whole matching set for your gang. How fun is that?

First things first, let’s talk about that basketweave stitch. It’s got that beautiful texture that looks a lot more complicated than it really is. Trust me, once you get the hang of it, you’ll be flying through this project in no time. Plus, it’s made with chunky yarn, so it’s not only warm and cozy, but it works up quickly, making it the perfect weekend project.
