DIY Crochet Beanie – Day 24 – Checkered Beanie
How to crochet a beanie? In this tutorial, I show you how to crochet a beanie that is extra warm and comfy, using two strands of yarn at the same time. 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. You can also have a variegated yarn look by using two different colored strands of yarn, or grabbing multiple colors and changing them out at random.
