Crochet Simple Colorful Beanie Pattern:
Crochet Hook: F / 5 / 3.75MM
Yarn: 4 Medium ~ Big Twist Value brand, Multiple colors (any brand of yarn should work for this project).
Row 1: CH 60, turn.
Row 2: 1 SL in BACK BUMP of each st in row. Yarn over with next color on last st (64 total st at end of row). CH 1, turn.
Rows 3 – 4: 1 SL in BACK LOOP ONLY of each st (except turning CH) in row, CH 1, turn. On last st of 2nd row, yarn over with next color (and then CH 1 and turn).
Repeat until this stretches comfortably around your head, or between 15 – 19 inches, depending on the size of the head of the person you’re crocheting this for. End your last row where your crochet hook is on the opposite side of your starting tail, then secure the two edges together by placing 1 SL in the outer loop in the corresponding stitches on both edges.
Cut and tie off yarn.
Cut a strand of yarn ~ 1.5 feet. Weave strand through the loops on the edge of the side where your starting and ending tails are. Pull two yarn ends tight to close up the edge, and tie off.
