amberblissthis Crochet Pattern by Amber Bliss Calderón–Bliss This
Skill Level 2, Easy Project
This pattern was created with charity and donations in mind. It works up quickly and makes a good-looking hat you’ll be proud to donate, gift, or wear yourself. I love a non-traditional brim and this one is a great textured repeat that has just enough give for a brim. The body of the beanie uses the same stitches horizontally and they contrast so nicely with the half double crochet slip stitches! The stitch count decreases as you go up the body of the beanie, giving it a nice fitted look.
