Making the Drew Beanie Crochet Pattern:

The Drew Beanie Crochet Pattern features a wonderful pattern of front and back post double crochet stitches. It has the look and feel of a basketweave stitch, but in miniature form. I really love this texture!

It’s constructed as the other hats in this crochet along: from the brim up and is sized to fit an adult head. But down below I will give you some guidance should you wish to change the size. This hat is a little taller than some of the other hats made during the event, so it does have a bit of slouch to it when worn.
