HDC Beanie Crochet Pattern



How to Make the Half Double Crochet Beanie!

I have made 1000's of these. Thousands!

This is a fast and easy pattern that you can literally dress up in any way! You can make this into a character, you can make this frilly, add a button or an applique. Or just wear it plain and keep warm! It's so versatile.

The pattern has a Small, Medium and Large Adult size included.

Materials:
1 Skein Size 4 Worsted or Aran Weight Yarn (Red Heart Super Saver or Vanna's Choice work well!)
1 Size I/9 5.5mm Crochet Hook
1 Yarn Needle
1 Scissors

The Free Printable PDF Pattern can be found by clicking here!

If you do not want to download anything then just keep scrolling down for the pattern. I understand that!

I also made you a Video Tutorial! I hope you enjoy the company while you crochet like I do!



HDC Beanie


By MelodyCrochet copywritten 2015 - Enjoy! (and by enjoy I mean share on social media and tag me because
I love to see what you guys make!!)


This is the base for so many of my character hats. If you are using it for a plain hat use something soft and
plush...if you are making a character hat I highly suggest Red Heart Super Saver! It is just so much better
when you sew things on it and attach anything with glue.

Melody Crochet Podcast Episode 29



Hi! This week on my crochet and knitting podcast I finished a crochet hat and shawl this week. And started a knitted shawl by Stephen West. I am really excited to share that and my progress on some other projects! I talk a lot about different Lion Brand yarn this week. Not on purpose. They just kept coming up in the conversation. LOL


The shownotes are in this post if you keep scrolling. 






A little about me? My favorite things to make are hats, shawls, blankets and socks. I love yarn, tea, coffee and making. I hope to share that love with you.
