"I have been meaning to write a Half Double Crochet (hdc) beanie pattern for some time now. You all seem to really like my Basic Beanie pattern which uses double crochet stitches so I thought you'd also like a hdc beanie pattern. I used the exact same worsted weight yarn (all hats were made from the same skein) for my samples because I wanted my measurements to be as accurate and consistent as possible. Please check your gauge before starting your own hat."

Braided Crochet Hat Pattern + Video
"In this tutorial, I'll be teaching you the braid stitch. You have the option of using one or two colors. Warning, if are using two colors, your secondary color may show through, I personally like that. The materials that will be using today are a 5 mm crochet hook and Caron Simply Soft which is a worsted weight yarn one in the color Iceland blue and bone. I chose Caron Simply Soft because it works perfectly with this stitch. All #4 worsted weight yarns are not the same. The stitches lay flatter with a light worsted weight yarn. With heavier #4 worsted weight yarn such as red heart Super Saver, the stitches came out bulkier. The choice is yours. Material #4 Worsted Weight Yarn - Caron Simply Soft -1 or 2 colors (I used blue and tan) 5 mm Hook Embroidery Needle for Sewing"

Snowcapped Beanie
"This fun puff stitch, snow scene inspired beanie was made to match a cowl I made (the Snowcapped Cowl). It's made with Red Heart's With Love, so it's soft and squishy, plus with one skein, you can make multiple hats. As far as snowy scenes go, I think this set would look great with aqua, blue or gray as the main color, or any color combo really! I was able to make the adult small size in about an hour and a half. You'll need to know how to double crochet (DC), front post double crochet (FPDC), and back post double crochet (BPDC). The Puff Stitch is explained."
Madeline Crochet Beanie Pattern
"his is a great crochet beanie for beginners. I used only a few basic stitches and it's worked flat so you don't have to worry about shaping. Also, the ribbing and the super bulky yarn of this pattern means that it fits all sizes. I know some people don't really believe that “one size fits all”, and with clothing, I would agree. But this beanie has so much stretch when you need it to be larger, AND it shrinks back down when you need it to be smaller, so it really does fit anyone. And when you're working a crochet beanie for beginners, you don't really want to mess around with sizing just yet. "
