Puff Stitch Beanie Crochet Pattern

After a long and warm summer, I can feel the weather slowly turning colder. 

However, since the weather is pretty temperamental in Australia and can never quite decide what it's plan is for the day, I feel forced to be prepared for anything! 

If there is even the slightest chance of a storm, I won't leave the house with a jacket or a scarf since I know how quickly that 5% chance of rain can turn to 95%. 

So in an effort to remain warm and cozy this year , I decided to create this cute little puff stitch beanie!
