If you’re tired of making the same ‘ole hats, you need to give The Rind Beanie a go! This beanie is crocheted in rounds and rows – starting with the crown and working in rows of Lemon Peel stitch. The ribbed brim is also worked at the same time as the rest of the body. There’s only 1 seam in this bad boy. This is an Intermediate+ design and requires you to check gauge to make sure your beanie will fit, read directions, and seam with a tapestry needle.

Our patterns are written a little differently with pattern beginners and neurodivergent crafters in mind. The abbreviated instructions are followed by a breakdown in italics, making it easier to understand what you need to crochet in each round. If you’ve had trouble reading crochet patterns in the past, we hope that you’ll give ours a try! Note: this pattern uses abbreviations only for all sizes except Adult M.
