This crochet beanie hat pattern features the split shell in between a ribbed texture. It has been updated from the original version making it easier to adjust this to any size you need from preemie to adult large.
Originally this pattern was available in a baby/child size using a baby yarn. I stuck with the same yarn, but if you’re making it for yourself you can substitute your favorite DK weight yarn if you like.
