Instructions for Making the Chunky Ribbed Crochet Beanie Pattern:
The beanie is worked as a simple rectangle in vertical rows, then folded and seamed into a tube. The top is cinched closed, and the brim is folded up. Beginning chains do not count as stitches.
At the end of each row, chain 1, turn, and work the first stitch into the last stitch of the previous row. Numbers in parentheses show stitch counts or sizes.
