DIY Crochet Beanie – Day 37 – Crochet Knit-Like 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 different colors of yarn.  This is a knit-look crochet pattern that creates a crochet being with knit-like stitches.  This beanie works quickly and shouldn’t take you more than 2 hours to complete.  The colors used in this pattern can easily be exchanged to fit whatever color scheme you like.
