Easy Peasy Toddler Sized (Age 1 – 3 Years Old) Double Crochet Beanie Pattern
free crochet pattern from cRAfterChick.com
Looking for an Easy Peasy crochet beanie pattern? What about a simple one made with Double crochet? This pattern is perfect even for the beginner so give it a try.
Since this crochet pattern is done in Double Crochet instead of half double or single crochet like others it builds up rather quickly. I use the Easy Peasy Beanie Crochet Pattern family sizes for the majority of my hats as a base to build on or embellish.
(*Note: This pattern is set to fit a child from age 1 to 3 years old based on crown size standards in US hats. If child is slightly smaller or larger for age, go size up or down not by age. For instance I have a very small 5 year old niece that still can stretch toddler hats on her head and proudly shows them off.)

Round 1: In a magic circle, ch 2 (does not count as a dc throughout pattern as I use this to make a more seamless appearance in my hats) then place 10 dc in to the circle. Pull circle tightly closed and join with sl st in top of beginning st in round. (10 dc)
Round 2: Ch 2 before making 2 dc in 1st st and 2 dc in each of the following 9 st around. Join with sl st in the top of 1st st. (20 dc)
Round 3: Ch 2 before placing *2 dc in 1st st and 1 dc in next st.* Repeating * pattern for next 18 st around. Join with sl st in top of 1st st. (30 dc)

Cut yarn leaving a short tail to finish off the project. Pull tail through and weave in ends with your yarn needle before cutting off any extra length left behind to fasten off hat.All done! 
Want a trim or contrast color? You can easily add a contrast trim by adding an additional round of sc to end of hat in new yarn color or for a wider trim, subtract one dc round from Round 5-11 then add that to the end after in between sc rows in contrast color.
