Posted Beanie Crochet Pattern

The Posted Beanie Crochet Pattern uses the front post double crochet stitch. The use of the front post double crochet stitch creates a nice textured look.

There are 3 sizes to choose from, from 5-10 yrs, Teen/Small Adult and Adult Large.

The Posted Beanie Crochet Pattern was designed for my 3rd Annual “Keep Our Kids Covered” Charity Drive and would make a great hat that you can donate to keep the kids/adults warm during the colder weather.
