DIY Crochet Beanie – Day 27 – Chunky Criss Cross Beanie
How to crochet a beanie? In this tutorial, I show you how to crochet a chunky yarn beanie that is extra warm and comfy and should fit most head sizes. This beanie works quickly and shouldn’t take you more than 1 hour to complete. The colors used in this pattern can easily be exchanged to fit whatever color scheme you like. If you would rather have a variegated yarn look, then just use two different colored strands of yarn while you are creating your beanie!
