Drop To It Beanie
"This free crochet pattern was written specifically for partial skeins of yarn. In other words, scraps. At just 160 yards – about half of a skein of acrylic yarn – its the perfect amount to use up your stash while making quick gifts for the family. For this beanie we are using chain stitches and double crochet stitches. We will work three double crochets into the row two below, so that it gives a textured look, yet is easy-to-crochet. Cute and easy… my favorite! "
