The Tropical Beanie is a beautiful textured beanie, I love crochet designs that have beautiful texture, I think they are my favorite to design. I used a fun tropical color for most of the beanie and that is where it got it's name from. This beanie can be customized for anyone to wear from newborn to adult.
