beanie

Materials you’ll need:

Worsted weight yarn (or yarn of your choice)
Crochet hook (size determined by the yarn you’re using)
Scissors
Yarn needle
Pattern:
Note: This pattern is for an average adult size beanie. You can adjust the number of stitches and rounds to make it smaller or larger.

Step 1: Start by creating a slipknot and chaining 4.

Step 2: Slip stitch into the first chain to form a ring.

Step 3: Chain 2 (this will count as your first stitch), and then make 11 double crochet stitches into the ring. You should have a total of 12 stitches, including the initial chain 2. Slip stitch into the top of the chain 2 to join the round.

Step 4: Chain 2, and then make 2 double crochet stitches into each stitch around. Slip stitch into the top of the chain 2 to join the round. You should have 24 stitches.

Step 5: Chain 2, make 1 double crochet stitch in the next stitch, then make 2 double crochet stitches in the following stitch – repeat from * to * around. Slip stitch into the top of the chain 2 to join the round. You should have 36 stitches.

Step 6: Chain 2, make 1 double crochet stitch in the next 2 stitches, then make 2 double crochet stitches in the following stitch – repeat from * to * around. Slip stitch into the top of the chain 2 to join the round. You should have 48 stitches.

Step 7: Continue working in rounds without increasing until the hat reaches your desired length. Typically, this is around 5-6 inches for an average adult beanie, but you can adjust it according to your preference.

Step 8: To finish off, cut the yarn, leaving a tail of about 6 inches. Thread the tail through a yarn needle, then weave it through the top stitches and cinch the opening closed. Fasten off and weave in any remaining loose ends.
