This simple crocheted beanie features seamless construction and a contrasting brim. Only a few basic stitches are required, making it an ideal pattern for relatively new crafters. By changing colors and adding different embellishments (not included in pattern), this hat can be readily customized for a variety of festive occasions. Additional body and/or brim rounds can also be added for a slouchy look.

Have fun and be sure to share your projects!
