Vertigo Beanie Crochet Pattern (CAL for a Cause)

The Vertigo Beanie Crochet Pattern is such a fun beanie! It uses a combination of front post double crochet and back post double crochet to make this fun swirl-like design. And it’s reversible! I might like the inside even better.

This hat is the 12th 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 all summer long. There’s always time to join! You can find all the details and hat patterns HERE.
