This crochet beanie pattern for beginners is all about solace. Gentle textures and repetitive stitch combinations make this a perfect mindful crochet project where you focus your positive intentions towards the recipient. Designed for the Crochet Cancer Challenge with Sweet Potato 3, the Conseulo Beanie makes a great “chemo cap.” This pattern uses just one skein and is available in 10 sizes from newborn through adult large.
