Crochet hats are a great way to stay warm and stylish during the colder months, and with this beginner-friendly Two Stripe Beanie Free Crochet Pattern, you’ll be able to create a beautiful hat in no time! This pattern uses basic double crochet stitches and two simple stripes to create a fun and classic design that’s perfect for all ages and skill levels.

Using worsted weight yarn in two contrasting colors, you’ll start with a magic circle and work your way up to create the body of the hat. Once you’ve established your pattern, it’s as simple as switching between your two colors to create the stripes. This pattern is great for beginners who are just getting started with crochet, as it only requires basic stitches and techniques. However, more experienced crocheters will also enjoy the simplicity and versatility of this pattern, as it allows for plenty of customization and personalization.

Whether you’re looking to create a cozy hat for yourself or a loved one, this beginner-friendly pattern is sure to be a hit. So grab your crochet hook and yarn, and get ready to create a fun and stylish hat that will keep you warm and fashionable all winter long!

Notes
• Read all instructions before beginning.
• This hat is worked in rounds.
• The ch1 or ch2 does NOT count as a stitch at the beginning of each round.
• Always join to the 1st stitch of the round (not the ch1/ch2) and work the
1st stitch of the next round in the same stitch you joined into.
• You may replace the ch3 at the beginning with a magic ring if you’d like (do
NOT count skipped chs as a stitch).

• I love to use THIS technique for changing color. It make perfect seamless stripes!
