I'm pretty excited to share this beanie hat crochet pattern with you today. AND there's an awesome giveaway for you too! (It ends October 31, 2014.) I'd like to say a big thank you to Red Heart for making this post possible! They provided me with the scrumptious yarn I used to crochet this hat and they are sponsoring today's giveaway.
The recommended hook size is a K, but I used a J hook to make this hat. I wanted a nice tight stitch.
The yardage for this yarn is a little over 100 yards (106 to be exact) and I was able to finish the hat with just the teeniest bit of leftover yarn. (I would not have been able to complete another row.) It fits me perfectly. (I'd say I have an average sized head.)
Here's how to make this hat:
Row 1: 8 hdc in magic loop (or preferred method). Slip stitch to join. [8 stitches]
Row 2: 2 hdc in each st around. Slip stitch to join. [16 stitches]
Row 3: *2 hdc in 1st st, 1 hdc in the next st* repeat around. Slip stitch to join. Chain two and turn. [24 stitches]
Row 4: *2 hdc in 1st st, 1 hdc in each of the next 2 sts* repeat around. Slip stitch to join. Chain two and turn. [32 stitches]
Row 5: *2 hdc in 1st st, 1 hdc in each of the next 3 sts* repeat around. Slip stitch to join. Chain two and turn. [40 stitches]
Row 6: *2 hdc in 1st st, 1 hdc in each of the next 4 sts* repeat around. Slip stitch to join. Chain two and turn. [48 stitches]
Row 7: *2 hdc in 1st st, 1 hdc in each of the next 5 sts* repeat around. Slip stitch to join. Chain two and turn. [56 stitches]
Row 8: *2 hdc in 1st st, 1 hdc in each of the next 6 sts* repeat around. Slip stitch to join. Chain two and turn. [64 stitches]
Row 9: 2 hdc in 1st st, 1 hdc in each of the next 32 sts, 2 hdc in one stitch. Hdc to end. Slip stitch to join. Chain two and turn. [66 stitches]
Rows 10 - ?: Hdc in each stitch. (How many rows you make will depend on where you want the beanie to hit: at the ear, in the middle of the ear, below the ear? For my hat I did seven rows of hdc in each stitch.)
Brim: Sc in each stitch. Do this for two rows.
I really love how comfortable this yarn makes the hat! And the bright color is a great way to bring a little cheerfulness to those dreary winter days.

ReplyDeleteHi. When you chain 2 and turn on the crochet beanie pattern, where do you connect the two sides? Maybe I'm doing something wrong because I have a gap between the two sides. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteJessica
Hmm. It looks like I missed "slip stitch to complete round" before chaining two. Does that help?
