★ A cozy beanie for beginners (and pros who want a relaxing one)

With cooler weather here, a warm, cozy hat is a must. This beanie uses a textured stitch that’s simple enough for a beginner but still a joy for advanced crocheters.

It’s worked in extended half double crochet between stitches for a lovely texture, and it comes in five sizes from newborn to adult. Free on my blog too.
