The Whittaker Beanie is a really quick fun project that will keep you or your loved one warm and cosy. It can be made in endless colour combinations to suit your taste or mood.

TECHNIQUES & PATTERN OVERVIEW
The main part of the hat is made with extended single crochet (US) or extended double crochet (UK) stitches with a few rounds of tapestry crochet.

scBLO (US) or dcBLO (UK) stitches are used with a join-as-you-go method to make the ribbing.

All stitches and techniques are explained in the pattern.

The pattern includes full written instructions, a colourwork chart, comprehensive pattern notes and tips for making the beanie.

It also includes links to some handy video tutorials to help you with the project:
