DIY Crochet Beanie – Day 31 – Child Size Beanie
How to crochet a beanie? In this tutorial, I show you how to crochet a beanie for a child that is very simple to follow. This beanie works quickly and shouldn’t take you more than 45 minutes to complete. The colors used in this pattern can easily be exchanged to fit whatever color scheme you like. If you are interested in crocheting a beanie that looks like a pumpkin, then this is a great start. I suggest using Burnt Orange, Big Twist Value brand for this beanie if you are going to create a pumpkin look. Stay tuned for a child-sized pumpkin beanie!
