10. The Caleb Beanie

Morning all and welcome to day 10!

Today's beanie is so sweet. It features what's called a side crochet stitch, meaning that the stitch is created around the post of the previous stitch, making it sit sideways. It's super easy to do once you've done a few and the effect is a lovely textured stitch.

Special Notes: To create the side stitch, you need to crochet around the post of the previous stitch.
