Super quick, super cozy and super cute: The blackberry beanie hat, named by my husband! This is a one skein crochet beanie pattern worked bottom up and in the round in sizes Newborn to Adult L. Using simple stitches in different ways to give lots of cozy texture, and works up in up to an hour.
There’s a mixture of stitches all based on either double or single crochet (US terms) giving a little alpine stitch section and some ribbed effect rows by using single crochet in the 3rd loop.
The kid sizes look so cute, who doesn’t love a baby in a chunky pom pom hat!

Single crochet in the 3rd loop: This stitch will push the loops backwards to give a braided look on the other side of your work when turned over, You can swap this for a single crochet in the back loop if you prefer.
