Adult Small Beanie Free Crochet Pattern!


Hello! Everyone needs a beanie, right? I decided to crochet a beanie for myself and I wanted to use one of my favorite yarns, Caron Simply Soft. I think this hat is very comfy and very soft too! Scroll down for the free pattern.

If you don't want to leave your hat blank, add an applique! How about a cute little kitty cat? Ziggy inspired this one and it's a free pattern, click here for the Kitty Cat Applique pattern.


Or you can come up with your own way to decorate your beanie. I would love to see what ya'll do with yours!
