Basic Beanie Crochet Pattern

With spring just around the corner I would like to share this pattern of a basic crochet beanie with you. I designed it in seven sizes from preemie to adult.

Yarn used: Caron Simply Soft Acrylic yarn. Any worsted weight yarn would work.
Hook used: 5 mm (H)
Abbreviations:

CH – chain

ST – stitch

SC – single crochet

Sl ST – slip stitch

In this short video I show and explain how to crochet a Cluster Stitch. (Written explanation following).
To work Cluster Stitch – YO, insert hook in next ST, YO and pull up a loop, YO and draw through 2 loops on hook, YO, insert hook in same stitch, YO and pull up a loop, YO and draw through 2 loops on hook, YO and draw through all 3 loops on hook.
