7. Basic Newborn HDC Beanie

Good morning beautiful people and helloooo day 7! Wow first week down already, that sure went fast!
To end this weeks round of hats, I thought we'd kiss! Keep it simple silly! This is a basic, full term hdc beanie. It makes a fantastic base for any number of ideas.

It's great for adding applique to, put on some ribbon, do stripes or colour blocking or just brim it in a contrasting colour. Or, like one of my alternate examples, you can go crazy and use a new colour for each round! YAY for rainbow beanies right??! A good basic beanie is one all crocheters need in their collection!!!
