5 Dec 2017
Took 2 days to finish my red beanie!!












what i used
- 2-3 balls of yarn (next time i'll use 2)
- needle size 7-8
- yarn needle, scissors

measurements #1 (a bit bulky/big)
1. band 
- chain 6, 5 stitches wide
- single crochet in back loop till 19 inches long (next time i'll do 17-18 inch)
2. trebles - x12 rows (next time i'll do about 9 rows and make the treble stitch looser)

how long i took to finish
this time i took 2 days to finish my red beanie. 

i think can finish within 1 full day or 4-5 hrs if i do less rows, looser trebles and thicker yarn.
