Bulky Striped Beanie

I'm migrating my patterns here, starting with my existing Ravelry patterns. This one is a simple beginner-friendly pattern. It only uses one stitch - half double crochet. It does require you know how to work in the round, join rounds, and change colors.

If you try this out, please find me on Ravelry to show me your work and let me know what you think! If you want to see a video tutorial or further explanation of anything in the pattern, let me know! Happy crafting!

Materials:

• bulky (5) yarn

  • Color A

  • Color B

• Crochet hook size K/6.5MM

• Yarn needle
