Welcome to my crochet train track beanie pattern. This is what the finished train track beanie will look like.

I make beanies for a charity group, and I designed this beanie to give to little boys. Next week I’ll give you some suggestions on decorating the beanies.

There’s also a video tutorial for this pattern available on my YouTube channel at crochet train track beanie tutorial.
