The Barley Mill Beanie is a modern take on a retro pattern. Crochet some colorful granny squares for the brim, then join them into a band and work the top of the hat in double crochet. Worked with just two skeins of Classic Elite’s gorgeous, colorful Liberty Wool, this hat puts the “hip” in “hippie.”
