Getting started on 1 of 4 beanie patterns I recently got from #fellowOhioan the lovely & genius @crazy4crochetmomma #TheAstraeaSlouch in what I refer to as #ThunderGnome #lionbrandmandalayarn 1 strand Thunderbird 1strand Gnome held together. Making slight adjustments as I go for gauge based on yarn choice & my personal stitch size/yarn tension. Brim in H hook 5mm switching to I 5.5mm or J 6mm for body. Normally don't do many bottom up crochet beanies but this brim has worked up very quickly! Who knows after this maybe I'll even knit a complete pair of socks?! Not quite as daunting or intimidating now that I've started. Lol 🥰🧶 https://www.instagram.com/p/B11W2a_hlCMpKtJR6BHwWuSqpC_2ZUA2q28rSs0/?igshid=1d1icv9tqx3vq
