Crochet Beanie

Materials you will need:

Worsted weight yarn (or any yarn of your choice)
Crochet hook (size appropriate for your yarn)
Yarn needle
Scissors
Pattern:

Start by making a slip knot on your crochet hook.
Chain 4 stitches.
Join the last chain to the first chain with a slip stitch to form a circle.
Chain 2 stitches. This will count as your first stitch.
Make 11 double crochet stitches into the center of the circle. You should have a total of 12 stitches, including the beginning chain.
Slip stitch into the top of the first double crochet stitch to join the round.
Chain 2 stitches. This will count as the first stitch of the next round.
Make 2 double crochet stitches in each stitch around. Slip stitch to join the round. You should have 24 stitches at the end of this round.
Chain 2 stitches. This will count as the first stitch of the next round.
Make 1 double crochet stitch in the next stitch, then 2 double crochet stitches in the following stitch. Repeat from * to * around. Slip stitch to join the round. You should have 36 stitches at the end of this round.
Continue increasing the number of stitches in each round by making 1 double crochet stitch in the next stitch, followed by 2 double crochet stitches in the stitch after that, until your beanie reaches the desired circumference. This is typically around 60 stitches for an adult-sized beanie. Adjust the number of increases as needed.
Once you reach the desired circumference, continue working in double crochet stitches without any increases until the beanie reaches the desired length. This length can vary depending on the style you prefer—some beanies are shorter and snug, while others are longer and slouchy.
Fasten off by cutting the yarn, leaving a long tail. Thread the tail through the yarn needle and weave it through the last round of stitches to secure it.
