As you head to the beach with your crochet, take along this nautical-themed pattern. I’ve sized up the Anchors A-Weigh Baby Beanie so everyone can have one. This pattern has instructions for children (3-10), teens, and adults. How great would your next family portrait look with everyone dressed in their dapper whites and one of these great beanies!

This hat is worked from the top down in a repeated striping pattern. Instructions are given for both the wide and the skinny stripe, so pick your poison! Don’t feel intimidated by the anchor applique. The instructions are easy-to-follow, and I’ve included a step-by-step photo tutorial to help you complete the nautical look!

This crochet pattern ranks in the “Easy” category, so it works up quickly and doesn’t take too much focus away from what you should be doing at the beach this summer…relaxing!
