Vickie Howell’s Upward Spiral Beanie is simplicity itself. Crocheted in a tube from the top down, this cute and casual hat uses an easy cinched closure that requires no decreases and features a striking stripe of color and a fun pompom on top! Worked at a large gauge in Valley Superwash Super Bulky, this hat is a quick project that would be great for gifts.
