My Christmas gift to my dear readers: a quick-crochet gift for anyone on your list.
If you are scrambling for a last-minute gift, look no further. I can crank out one of these hats in 45 minutes flat.
I have been working very hard to find the perfect beanie pattern and am in love with this one. It has a nice feminine slouch without being too athletic. It fits perfectly without destroying a hairstyle.
Of course, if you are going for a more unisex ski-slope look, simply crochet fewer rows.
Let’s begin!
Karlo Beanie
Supplies: Size “N” crochet hook, bulky yarn. I crocheted this hat from a recycled sweater but a nice cushy acrylic would be fantastic.

And that is all, my friends! One Law and Order: SVU marathon on USA and you have a whole family of hats. Not too much time or money, but a lovely gift nonetheless.
