This beanie is my go to quick project and has two patterns - one for 8 ply and one for 10 ply. Made from the top down. I use a 4.5mm hook for the 8 ply version and a 5.5mm hook for a 10 ply beanie. It includes a brim that has the forwards crab stitch as the edging. This is a link to our YouTube video showing you how to do this if your unsure. It’s a simple stitch.
