Hello Reader 💕🌸

A summer cold had us a little bit under the weather this week — hopefully not a preview of this fall! We aren't supposed to get sick with a cold when it's 100 degrees outside; it just feels wrong somehow. 😉Thankfully it was mild, just a tad inconvenient when you're trying to shoot a video tutorial with a scratchy voice!

Sniffles and all, this week kicks off my planned fall releases — and I'm so excited about this first one. I've gotten so many requests from readers for a basic, beginner-friendly, top-down double crochet hat pattern, and today I'm finally delivering it!

Meet the DC All Day Beanie: quick to make, available in 10 sizes from a 5 lb preemie all the way up to Adult Large, and I put together a full video tutorial to walk you through it too.

Here's the best part — this is just the first of several patterns I'll be releasing over the next many weeks, all built on this same base hat. (Hint - remember the adorable Summer Bucket Hats??) So once you've got this one down, you'll be able to make so many more designs coming soon!

I hope you enjoy making this hat - be sure to share your finished hats with me!

Have a wonderful weekend and happy crocheting 🌸

Tonya 💕
