The Ceilidhe’s Beanie is a textured, ribbed hat with directions for adjusting the amount of slouchiness to suit your style. Make it more fitted on top, give it extra slouch, or follow the main directions for a relaxed beanie somewhere in between (see Construction notes).

Using all single and double crochet stitches for the main body of the hat, this pattern is easy to follow with a beautiful, interesting, bumpy texture. The ribbing is added seamlessly with front and back post double crochet stitches, completing the look and keeping your beanie comfortably in place.
