How To Crochet a Basic Beanie Hat for Adults (Super Easy!) (With Video Tutorial)

Hello crafty friends. I hope that this August day finds you well. It is starting to change temperatures just a wee bit here in Colorado. Today it is a little windy and you can hear the leaves rustling outside the window. It is a symbol to me that fall is coming soon! And to me, fall time is crochet hat time! Crochet hats (as I have probably mentioned a time or two) are one of my favorite crochet projects. I love that you can make a hat in an hour or two. I like that they are pretty repetitive. I also love that you can have a finished, practical object at the end of your crochet session!

If you would like to watch the video tutorial for this pattern, please click below!

For this project, you will only need to know a few stitches. You will need to know the double crochet stitch, the chain, the single crochet and the slip stitch! If you know these stitches than you will do great. This is a great beginner project.
