I remember the feeling of that day! The warmth from the Sunray touched my face. It was like, the kiss from the Sky!
Path of Love beanie was created in 2018 and I actually made a partner beanie for my husband and I. Now you can make it too, yeah!
This is a free pattern but if you want to support me, you can purchase an ad-free printable version of this pattern on Ravelry or Etsy.

In this written pattern/video tutorial, I am demonstrating beanie in adult size of 22” and 23” inches measurement around the head.
The pattern can modify to fit all sizes. For a small child can follow the pattern by using yarn weight 4 and smaller hook such as 4mm or 4.5mm
Band
All sizes start with ch8 +1 (if made for children can modify to ch5+1)
R.1 – sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in each st across, a total of 8sc sts, turn
R.2 – ch1, scblo in 2nd ch from hook, scblo in each sc st from previous row across, a total of 8sc sts, turn
Rep R.2 for the pattern and make as long as You wish Your headband to be.
I’ve made 55 rows for 22” inches and 61 rows for 23” inches head measurement.
Important:
- If made for Yourself use the band to wrap around Your head and make sure that both ends meet perfectly and not overlap. If want the beanie to snug on the head pull the band slightly to fit You but not over pull. Do the same for children.
- If make for a customer and have the head measurement number. Make the band 2” inches shorter than the number head measurement. This means while laying the band flat on the ground without stretching it.
Connect both ends of the band using sl st. Please watch the video if not sure how to do it.
