Easy Crochet Beanie for Beginners

Easy Crochet Beanie for Beginners!

I love how pretty these hats look when they are finished. Add a pom pom for a nice touch. I uploaded a video if you need more help. This easy crochet beanie for beginners looks so nice when finished! 

Newborn Bulky Hat, instead a D hook, Use a J hook with this pattern: http://www.amyscrochetpatterns.com/2015/01/crochet-baby-0-3-months-football-hat.html, when the increase stops, then continue the pattern as written in this pattern with the J hook. 

Use smaller hook for smaller size or larger hook for a larger hat.
