I have 12 free crochet beanie patterns on my blog and the Easy Breezy Ribbed Beanie and Easy Breezy Chunky Beanie are the most popular this month! They are both beginner friendly patterns that use only 1 basic crochet stitch! They can be made ANY size and work up quickly and easily. They’re perfect for gifts, markets, and making for the whole family. I love that these patterns are unisex and can be made for any age and size.

The difference between these patterns is the yarn and hook size used. The Easy Breezy Ribbed Beanie uses medium 4 weight yarn, making it great for cool weather. The Easy Breezy Chunky Beanie uses bulky 5 weight yarn, making it even warmer for colder weather.

There are even more beanie and accessories patterns in my Easy Breezy Collection, so be sure to check them out HERE.
