I love making simple beanies. Besides the fact that they are so easy and quick to make, they are great for charity and gift projects. This hat is just your standard, double crochet beanie hat.

I’ve added a shell stitch border to the cap. A crochet shell edging, also often referred to as a scallop edging, is a very pretty and easy to follow stitch which can give a pretty finishing touch to your project.

Materials Used:-
4 Ply Yarn
4 mm Crochet Hook

When I was learning to crochet hats, I used to start with the usual chain 6 and join method.Then I learnt the Magic Circle method and trust me after that I’ve never used usual chain 6 and join method.

A magic circle is a way to begin crochet in the round by crocheting over an adjustable loop and then pulling the loop tight. The advantage of the magic circle method unlike the regular chain 6 and join method, there is no hole left in the middle of your starting round.
