There are several crochet beanies out there and I hope this will be easy and fun to you. Most ribbed beanies are either made using post stitches or stitches worked in the back loop only. The back loop only stitches normally gives the knit look and you can achieve this with single crochet, half double crochet stitches. However the slip stitches back loop only {used in this pattern} will give you the best knit look version of crochet beanies.
