Tara's Granny Beanie

This is a variation on my Brimmed Granny Hat, for people who don't like brims.

This utilizes the Granny Circle from Crochet with Raymond. I made some adaptations for my own pattern, of course.

I used light worsted weight yarn, with J and H hooks.

Stitch Abbreviations

St - stitch
Ch - chain
Sl st - slip stitch
Sc - single crochet
Dc - double crochet

Special Stitches

Altdc - Make a sc without a turning ch, insert hook into sc just made, yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over, pull through 2 loops. (For more extensive instructions, including photos, see Crocheted Simplicity.)
