Beginner-friendly customizable basic beanie pattern

You’re essentially going to crochet a 13” x 20” rectangle, connect the two widths to create a tube, then cinch one side to create the top of the hat. I like to make smaller (sc) stitches on the top end to create less bulk, which also makes it easier to close up tightly. This fits most adult heads, and instructions for size adjustments will be at the end.

Materials:

US size I/ 5.5mm hook

#4 medium weight yarn- (1) 7oz skein is more than enough

tapestry needle & scissors

Abbreviations:

ch- chain, sts- stitches, sc- single crochet, hdc- half double crochet, blo- back loop only
