Any beanie pattern is welcome. These three are here to make it easy, not to limit you. All sizes are welcome, from baby to adult.

Use any soft, warm yarn you would choose for someone you love. Washable yarn is best, and stash yarn is perfect. A few favorites are WeCrochet Brava Worsted, Brava Bulky, Hobbii Amigo XL, and Amigo Chunky. Avoid yarn that requires special care.
