Basic Back Loop Beanie
"If you’re looking for a super beginner friendly beanie pattern, this is for you! Available in 7 sizes from newborn to adult, these beanies are super quick to work up and definitely easy enough for the novice crocheter. It starts as a basic rectangle. We’ll seam the edges so that the first row matches up to the last row, and then cinch up the top. Wear it slouchy, or pull it tighter and roll up the cuff. Great for children or men, or throw a big ol’ faux fur pom pom on top to give it a more feminine vibe. "
