One of my favorite designs I've made so far, the Pineapple Pom Pom Beanie Pattern is a great way to learn the crocodile stitch. I've added my own little flair to the crocodile stitch by adding a picot stitch to the point of it. The pom pom is what really makes it look like a pineapple!
I love making different colors of this hat! The first few I made (and the way the pattern is written) starts with green yarn and then it changes to yellow, but I've done a few in solid colors or variegated yarn, and I've also switched up the colors of the crocodile stitch rows .
