October is National Bully Prevention month. #hatnothate (https://hatnothate.org/) is an amazing organization that rallies fiber artists around the country to knit and crochet blue hats to be distributed and worn by kids during the month of October. What an amazing sight of blue to combat bullies!
For #hatnothate 2021, we have designed 16 unique beanies for the cause. Here is our ribbed beanie collection – two unique patterns in blue!
These beanies are fitted and have a final height of 8.5 inches and flat circumference of 19 inches
Stitches used:
ch- chain
sc – single crochet
dc – double crochet
fpdc – front post double crochet
sl st – slip stitch
