It is now time to share with you the third part of our Winter Break Patterns Collection! This one is my favorite from this collection, yay! It’s because I prefer wearing beanies then headbands/ear warmers or even the ponytails/messy bun hats… there you go, I said it out loud! Hahaha!!!
I remember being so busy last month with all the holiday activities but somehow I managed to take a break to design and crochet these patterns. With this pattern, I didn’t think so hard. It was actually very simple, Winter + Break (Time) = Winter Break! I double checked it first if the name was already taken before I finally settled with it.
I am still debating on whether to add more patterns to this collection or not. What do you think? Hmmm….
Well, let’s get started with our new pattern!
This pattern is free here on my page but you may also purchase the inexpensive PDF file (with chart and diagram) on my RAVELRY shop for easy printing and reading. Purchasing the PDF file helps to support my blog and allows me to continue to share my patterns with you.
You may also PIN it for later use.
Before we get started with the pattern instructions, let me remind you of the COUNTDOWN TO CHRISTMAS BLOG HOP that I shared in another post. If you’ve missed it, you can check it here!
