Mikey's Grey Matters Beanie Crochet Hat has been added to our sock-yarn beanie crochet hats. Crocheted with a 3 mm / D/11 crochet hook with Patons Kroy Sock Yarn in Grey Marl, this hat is easy to make and fits ever so perfectly. It's gender-neutral, and with this yarn's wool properties, it's one to keep the chill off. If you prefer, you will have extra yarn to make the brim longer.

Instructions
Notes:
- Due to the size of the stitches, it’s easy to skip a stitch accidentally. You may have skipped a stitch by accident if your counts are incorrect.
- The hat is worked in a continuous circle, with the stitch marker at the end of each round moved up to ensure accurate counts.
- The starting of each round is slightly different to prevent the growth of the hat from being obvious.
Create an adjustable ring (magic circle).
Use 8 sc inside the ring.
