The DC All Day Beanie is a simple, satisfying top-down beanie worked entirely in double crochet — just one stitch from start to finish.

This pattern was designed with beginners in mind, but it’s a quick, relaxing make for crocheters of any skill level.

The crown begins with a few rounds of standard increases, then transitions into one easy-to-memorize increase round. Once the crown increases are complete, the body works up in plain double crochet rounds until you reach your desired height.

Included in this pattern are 10 sizes, from Preemie (5 lb) through Adult Large, so you can make this same beanie for every member of the family. Each size offers three stopping points — mid-ear, below-ear, or slouchy — giving you full control over the finished fit.

Whether you’re brand new to crochet, teaching someone else to crochet, or just want a fast, mindless project for your queue, the DC All Day Beanie delivers a clean, classic result every time.

A video tutorial is available to accompany this pattern as well!
