Quick Crochet Project: Child's Curled Brim Beanie Hat

Create this cute child's crocheted beanie hat with a curled edged brim and have a ready gift when ever you need it. The stitches for this hat are basic and are perfect for a new crocheter. This child's beanie is constructed by holding two strands of yarn together while crocheting, which makes the hat work up very quickly, giving the crocheter instant success. This is a great crochet pattern for an evening in front of the television or for taking along in the car on vacation.
