Worried about crocheting in the round, increasing and decreasing to create your first basic beanie?

Don’t be!

This easy ribbed beginners beanie is created by crocheting a simple rectangle which is then stitched into a tube and gathered at the top to create a hat you’ll be desperate to get outside in this winter.

It’s made with super bulky yarn so it works up in around an hour and the chunky look is perfect for both men and women.

You can even customise your beanie to add more of a foldover brim or create a slouchy look for the hipster in your family.

It ticks all the boxes, what’s not to like?
