The Falling Pines beanie, inspired by the falling pines poncho, is a top down slouchy crochet hat pattern with a cabled motif, representing the branches of a pine tree. An intermediate crochet pattern that’s a perfect Alpine addition to your winter accessories.

This crochet pattern is a great way to introduce yourself to intricate post stitch motifs, without the stress of taking on a larger project. You could consider it a practice piece either for the Falling Pines Poncho or the Southern Pines sweater patterns (also available to purchase in my designs).
