Lately, I have been teaching the basics of crochet to a few of my friends. Many have asked me to show them how to crochet a hat/beanie. The first beanie I ever crocheted was one that was worked in the round from top down. I decided that this approach was probably the easiest to show them.

My Back to Basics Beanie is for those who are new to crochet and are looking for a beanie pattern that uses basic crochet stitches and techniques. This pattern is also great for seasoned crocheters as well! It is crocheted in the round and uses on the the half double crochet stitch and the slip stitch. I chose to add a little texture at the brim. I love the simplicity of this beanie pattern. I have included instructions for a fitted beanie and a slouchy beanie.

I chose to use Caron Simply Soft for this pattern. This was my first ever yarn that I worked with when learning to crochet. I love this yarn because it is available in almost any store that sells yarn. It comes in so many colors that I have lost count. I love the sheen that it gives as well as the stitch definition. It is a great beginner yarn.

    Instagram post 2182239346869236486_4215395710 Last week I posted a tutorial for this stitch and just realized I never shared it here. This is the Forked Cluster Stitch. It's an easy stitch that creates amazing texture. And my favorite part about this stitch?....it's reversible! I love reversible stitches because they work so well for cowls, scarves and wraps. What would you make with this stitch?

    Instagram post 2175716321248390628_4215395710 New Pattern! The Trailblazer Earwarmer is such a fun and quick make. I used @lionbrandyarn Color Made Easy yarn for this project. I was able to make 4 Earwarmers from just one skein. I also used my 50% off coupon at @acmoorecrafts so it was a win-win! πŸ‘πŸ˜ This pattern is super simple and works up ridiculously quick. Seriously, I have to stop making them! 😬 Actually, no. I think I need to make some it darker colors. What colors would you choose for this pattern? Link to pattern in bio. .
