The Berry Topper Beanie is a FREE crochet pattern that is a great pattern for kids. This design was created for Cancer Awareness.
Cancer affects babies, kids, and adults alike. I used multiple colors because there are many forms of cancer that have affected my family in one form or another. Help me raise awareness by crocheting this hat and donating it to a cancer ward, anyone you know who is fighting cancer or for your family and friends. You can also donate this to any Cancer Awareness Charity Drive for all ages.
The Berry Topper Beanie crochet pattern uses multiple stitches that you can master by doing the row repeats. The crochet stitches used are the Back Loop Only, the Half Double Crochet in the 3rd Loop, the Puff Stitch, and the Half Double Crochet 2 Together. There are Left Handed
