The Cactus Beanie Crochet Pattern starts as a simple, ribbed beanie. This beanie is made from a rectangle and sewn into a hat shape. Then all the fun details are added!
This hat is the 5th pattern in the Crochet Along for a Cause. We are making 1 hat per week to donate to a cancer center, school, or homeless shelter for 12 weeks. There’s always time to join! You can find all the details and hat patterns HERE.
