The Briar Blue Beanie is a quick, easy, and unisex hat that is suitable for both men and women! It works up fast with medium weight yarn held doubled, and you can have lots of fun with mixing and matching two different colors. The hat features a vertical ribbed look, followed by a horizontal brim. It is done completely in one piece with joined rounds, and you can crochet it in one sitting. The Briar Blue Beanie makes a perfect Christmas or winter holiday gift, or to sell at craft fairs!

It’s also a great pattern to use for the #HatNotHate initiative by Lion Brand Yarn to increase the awareness of the terrible impacts of bullying.
