The riptide crochet beanie is simple to crochet even for a beginner crocheter and makes a great hat for both men and women.
The beehive looking beanie is very popular this season and this beanie is easy to just keep crocheting until you’re ready to end it. Make it a slouchy beanie if you like. It’s also very easy to make any size you want. (see links below for slouch hat version)I hope you’ll give it a try.
