Inspired by Donna Druchunas during discussions in a group of craftivists, the Resist Beanie is a simple crocheted hat with a filet crochet brim that spells out the word “resist”. With spring and summer fast approaching, the need for a lighter, cotton hat to support change has come up. Though it fits the average-sized head snugly, this hat is light, comfortable, and breathable, ideal for warmer weather. A portion of the proceeds from this pattern will be used to support local causes for the resistance, including small businesses that are mostly female-owned/operated.

You should only need one ball of the crochet thread, however, if you make the hat slouchier, you will need an additional ball.
