Crochet My Way Beanie Hat

  

Crochet My Way Beanie Hat

This is a crochet beanie hat that fits snuggly around the head and falls to the middle of the ears. The beauty of this beanie is that the stripes hide the awkward diagonal bump line of slip stitching at the end of each round. This hat also has no banding at the bottom.
