The Camel Stitch Crochet Beanie is such a great design, not only because of the awesome stitch, but also because it comes with 3 brim options!

You can make this hat with a ribbed brim, as shown above, a front post brim, or a bonnet style brim with tassels!

The camel stitch is also a really fun, textured stitch to use that works up fairly quick!
