MATERIALS

Medium Weight (4) Yarn – I have used several different brands to make these beanies; Lion Brand (the softest and the one I linked), Yarn Bee, Red Heart, you can use whatever you want! You will need approximately 92grams of yarn.

5.00mm Crochet Hook

Darning Needle

Scissors

Stitch Markers – (I personally don’t use a stitch marker for this pattern, but if you lose track of where you started easily or you’re a beginner, stitch markers are very helpful.)

Laid flat before being sewn together

8.5 inches tall x 17.5 inches wide

This Pattern is a ONE SIZE but I will give tips on how you can make it for any size head.

This Pattern follows US crochet terms.

Turning chain 1 DOES NOT count as a stitch.
