Easy Striped Elf Beanie Crochet Pattern

This fun Easy Striped Elf Beanie Crochet Pattern uses all single crochet and double crochet to create the short and tall stripes. It’s a quick and easy pattern to work up for the holidays!

This beanie uses one 50g skein of each color. I used Wool of the Andes Worsted in 3 colors. This is a wool yarn, but ny worsted weight yarn (wool, cotton, acrylic) will work great!
