This easy crochet swirl beanie  is super easy as all you need to do is crochet a flat rectangle and work some magic with your tapestry needle. The crochet swirl hat pattern is worked in back loops only to give the hat a ribbed design. This crochet swirl hat works up super fast and looks cuter with a pompom embellishment.

DESIGN

The design of the Crochet swirl hat pattern is quite simple. It’s just a rectangle worked in the back loop only so it has a ribbed effect, decreases are continually made on one end and increases on the other to achieve the swirl effect. The number of stitches remain the same. Ribbing is made at one end for th circumference of the head. The side is sown and the top is close and an adorable crochet swirl hat is done.

EASY

The crochet swirl hat is very easy to make and perfect for crochet beginners because it is a small project and It uses mainly the half double crochet stitch. It works up in no time, perfect for gifts and donations.
