I do not design this beanie. Once, my sister show me a picture of beanie and she asks me to make one like that.

I write my own pattern for this particular beanie. This pattern fit for kid at age 8 to 10 years old.

I never know there are 2 types of SC (Single Crochet) before until someone mentioned in a crochet group; one is look like small V and the other one is look like small X.

I searched some sources and tried how to do it.

The different occur because use different technique.

First we need to know the different between YU and YO;

YU = yarn under - yarn is under the hook

YO = yarn over - yarn is over the hook

Below are step by step pictures how to make the SC look like small V and SC look like small X:
