Double-Crochet Beanie with Scallop Edging and Flower Applique

Surprise, surprise...  This one is for me!  The last snow storm made me realize:  I need a winter hat!


This project was super simple.  Ready for this?

1)  I followed Oombawka's medium pattern for the Simple Double Crochet Beanie using a size G crochet hook and some leftover Red Heart Super Saver with Love yarn in maroon.

2)  I added a tried-and-true pattern for small scallop edging that I learned from the How to Crochet blog (see how awesome it looked on this Granny Square Baby Blanket?!).

3)  I added a flower applique which was actually part of Aesthetic Nest's Crochet Baby Cloche Tutorial, which I followed once before to create this Newborn Hat with Flower.

The beanie comes down about 7-1/2 inches and is 21 inches around at the opening.  The flower is 4 inches in diameter and juts out less than 1/2 inch.

I'm loving this winter hat, although I'm hoping I don't have many more opportunities to wear it-- I'm ready for spring to arrive!

Keep warm and happy hooking,
Jilliane
