This Crochet Beanie Is Made With an Easy Crochet Stitch
This hat uses a stitch that is great for beginners! If you can double crochet or then you are good to go with this simple crochet hat!
The double crochet stitch or dc when abbreviated is usually one of the first few stitches a new crocheter learns when starting out.
The Yarn for This Simple Double Crochet Beanie
When I designed this hat I used one of my favorite soft yarns which is Wool Spun by Lion Brand Yarn!
It has an amazingly soft and thick which is perfect to keep your noggin warm! The color choices that Lion Brand offers are amazing for this yarn line, so you will not be disappointed.
Since I wrote this post Woolspun has sadly been discontinued, but I would recommend using Lion Brand Color Made Easy as a good replacement yarn. It has a similar texture and feel, so it would be perfect for this hat!
*Please keep in mind that if you use a different weight yarn (other than a five weight) that the hat will not turn out the same as the photos.
Make This Beanie With or Without Buttons
I love a little something extra added to my crochet pieces, so I sewed on a coconut shell button onto this hat to do just that!
This particular buttons can be found in various sizes and I think any size would look good on this hat. I you prefer a crochet hat without buttons just leave the button off! It is as easy as that!
