Project requires:
Medium to normal weight yarn (I use a lot of Red Heart Saver yarn for these though you can use baby yarn for extra soft beanie hats too! Just remember if using less ply yarn you may have to work with double strand to make up density lost.)
“J” hook (6.0 mm)
Scissors or Yarn Cutter
Blunt large eye yarn / tapestry needle to weave in ends

Abbreviations used in this pattern (US crochet stitches): 
ch – chain
st – stitch
sl st – slip stitch
sc – single crochet (US)
dc – double crochet (US)

Pattern Instructions:

*Note: This project is worked in the round on the base of a magic circle ring. If you do not know how to do this, please see tutorial here from: yarntomato on CrochetMe

(Due to the size needed for the crown of this specific sized beanie the first round will be worked in sc (US) and the rest worked in dc (US) like other beanies in family patterns for desired crown width.)

Round 1: In a magic circle, ch 1 (does not count as a first st throughout pattern as I use this to make a more seamless appearance in my hats) then placing 8 sc in to the circle. Pull circle tightly closed and join with sl st to top of beginning st. (8 sc)
Round 2: Ch 2 before placing *2 dc in first and  2 dc in each of the following 7 st around. Join with sl st to top of beginning st. (16 dc)
Round 3: Ch 2 before making *2 dc in 1st st and 1 dc in next st.* Repeating * process for next 14 st around. Join with sl st to top of beginning st. (24 dc)
Round 4: Ch 2 before placing *2 dc in 1st st and 1 dc in next 2 st.* Repeating * pattern for next 21 st around. Join with sl st to top of beginning st. (32 dc)
Round 5 -10: Ch 2 before placing 1 dc in first st and 1 dc in each of the remaining 31 st around. Join with sl st to top of beginning st. (32 dc)
Round 11: Ch 1 and place 1 sc in first st and 1 sc in each of the remaining 31 st around. Join with sl st to top of beginning st. (32 sc)
Cut yarn leaving a short tail to finish off the project. Pull tail through and weave in ends with your yarn needle before cutting off any extra length left behind to fasten off hat.

All done! :)

Want a trim or contrast color? You can easily add a contrast trim by adding an additional round of sc to end of hat in new yarn color or for a wider trim, subtract one dc round from Round 5-10 then add that to the end after in between sc rows in contrast color.

The sky is the limit on possibilities or ideas to make each your own, unique and special from stripes to adding features or appliques etc.  Drop by our free pattern section to find some of cRAfterChick’s ideas to make your project extra fun or special.

  1. Don”t understand “Dc around in first stitch” The word around threw me. How to get from 30 stitches to 32 stitches.

    • cRAfterChick says:

      Hi Linda and sorry for any confusion. I just updated all the hat size patterns earlier today so see if this remedied your problem and let me know if you still have questions. I think you may of stopped by while I was in editing process and things were a little garbled. :)

  2. Joanie Salib says:

    I finally did a hat. Great easy pattern. Now going to find some booties?

  3. Shouldn’t round 4 and thereafter be 36 DC? My count was going fine until I got to the 4th round. I don’t see how you get from 24 to 32. Based on the previous rounds, 1/2 of 24 is 12, so 24 plus 12 is 36.

    • cRAfterChick says:

      No, the rounds are increasing by multiples of 8 if down as in pattern. 8, 16, 24, 32 Round 4 is done as 2 dc in first st 1 dc in 2nd st and 1 dc in 3rd st *repeat (long form for next 2 st). You will only be gaining 1 dc per 3 stitch grouping. Hope that helps
