Rainbow Gay Pride Striped Beanie Hat Crochet Pattern for Teen/ Womens / Men sizes
free crochet pattern from cRAfterChick.com
This hat was a special request from a loved one and a favorite project of mine for what it stands for. The loved one wanted a set of gay pride hats to where with a fellow attendee to our local Gay Pride parade later this month. I am honored to be a part of their day and was so happy to make the hats for them that I pushed more than a few projects aside to design this up asap. They promised me lots of pictures from the day so I can’t wait to see them. 🙂
This is a very beginner friendly double crochet hat pattern and works up really fast. I made them both in a day of working at them here and there. Happy crafting!

This is an amazing basic pattern! I’m currently working it using blue, white and pink for my niece and their partner to wear in support of Women’s March Day on October 2nd, 2021. Especially as Texans, with our new “citizen police” anti-abortion law we have a desperate need to fight for all Women’s rights to their own bodies, names, and choices. Thank you for posting this!
