Day 5 is upon on followers. Today I bring a beanie that is not slouchy.

This beanie uses one stitch in two ways. First you are making the hat in double crochet, and then you finish the brim in all fpdc. This is the first version of this hat. Version two will use the same concept for a brim.

This hat will fit a size 20-22”. It is snug but has some stretch to it.

This hat should take between 1.5 - 2 hours to complete depending on your skill level.
