How the Beanie Is Made

Ribbed Brim

The beanie begins with a single crochet back-loop-only ribbing worked flat. Once the ribbing reaches the desired length, it’s joined into a circle to form the brim.

Main Beanie Body

After the brim, the body is worked in the round using double crochet through the back loop only. This creates a subtle ribbed texture that looks great while staying simple and beginner-friendly.

Crown Shaping

To finish, a few easy decrease rounds shape the crown. The top is cinched closed for a clean, classic beanie finish.
