Granny Stripe Beanie Pattern, Free
Granny stripes are one of my favorite crochet stitches. They look great and are so easy to do. For the crown of the beanie, you will use a granny circle increase pattern and then regular granny clusters for the straight part. The granny stripe beanie is finished with single crochet ribbing, which will keep it snuggly on your head.
