A Unisex Beanie Pattern for Beginners
As long as I've hosted Seven Days of Scarfie, I realized I'd never made a hat that would be considered unisex. That changes now! This easy beanie is crocheted with less than half a skein of Lion Brand Scarfie yarn and comes with a video tutorial to help with the brim.
