Description
Meet the easiest beginner crochet hat pattern you’ll ever make! The DC All Day Beanie is worked entirely in double crochet — just one simple stitch from start to finish — which makes it the perfect first hat pattern for beginners, or a quick, satisfying make for anyone who wants a break from complicated stitch counts.
This clean, ad-free printable PDF includes complete written instructions for 10 sizes, from Preemie 5 lb all the way up to Adult Large, plus 3 height options for every size (mid-ear, below-ear, or slouchy) so you can customize the fit for every person on your list.
✨ What makes this pattern so easy?
Every size starts with the same simple standard increase rounds, then moves into one easy-to-memorize increase where you just count up by one stitch each round. No confusing stitch patterns to relearn — once you’ve made one size, you can make them all!
