Charity Adult Beanie
More about this project
This is an adult sized beanie made of five panels done in tunisian simple stitch. The circumference around the bottom edge of the beanie is approximately 55cm (each panel is approximately 11cm wide) and the length from the top of the beanie to the bottom edge is approximately 23cm. If you would like a "slouchy" beanie, you can just add more rows to each panel.

Use any method that you are comfortable with to crochet the sides of the first and last panels together - I used the flat chain joining method. Turn the wrong side to the inside again.
