Chunky Textured Two Tone Beanie Free Crochet Pattern
This Chunky Textured Two Tone Beanie Free Crochet Pattern is a great beginner pattern with a fun combination of stitches that creates a cozy texture. It is also a great introduction to color work using the contrast color for the brim instead of as a main design element throughout the hat itself. I used Universal Yarn Uptown Bulky in Sample & Suggested for this pattern.

Using tapestry needle, weave lengthy tail across the top of the hat across, then diagonally, creating a star shape. See this tutorial here
Then pull tight like a drawstring
Turn hat right side out
Using tail, seam up the hat peak by threading tail throughout row 11
Fasten off and weave in ends
