Boy Beanie

Also available in [an improved version 2.0][1] From <em>Stitch 'N Bitch Crochet: The Happy Hooker</em>:<br /> <br /> When I first started designing and selling my hand-crochet hats at local markets in the Seattle area, I caught on quickly to the fact that many young men were interested in handmade goods, but they just didn't have very much to choose from.&nbsp; So, as long as I had a few &quot;boy beanies&quot; in stock, guys would stop at my booth to talk, sometimes even to tell me that they, too, love to crochet!&nbsp; This hat, which can be made in endless color combos, is one of my most popular designs, with a combination of stitches that adds an interesting texture to the stripe pattern.&nbsp; It's a stretchy, close-fitting, and comfortable hat in a style that's popular as casual street wear and with outdoor sports enthusiasts, boarders, skaters, and bikers.&nbsp; Made in 100% acrylic yarn for easy care, one size fits just about everyone, ages teen to adult.
