      \ud83d\udc52 Step-by-Step Pattern: Easy Crochet Beanie Hat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      This pattern is worked in the round<\/strong> from the top down<\/strong>. We’ll create a flat circle for the crown, then work even rows for the body of the hat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      \n\n\n\n

      \ud83d\udd39 Step 1: Make the Crown (Top of Hat)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Round 1:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Start with a magic ring<\/strong>, ch 2 (counts as first dc), and make 11 dc into the ring<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Join with a sl st<\/strong> to the top of the first dc. (12 dc total)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Round 2:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • Ch 2, 2 dc in each stitch around<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Join with sl st. (24 dc)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          Round 3:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          • Ch 2, (1 dc in next stitch, 2 dc in next stitch)<\/em> repeat around.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Join with sl st. (36 dc)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            Round 4:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            • Ch 2, (1 dc in next 2 stitches, 2 dc in next stitch)<\/em> repeat around.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Join with sl st. (48 dc)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              Round 5:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              • Ch 2, (1 dc in next 3 stitches, 2 dc in next stitch)<\/em> repeat around.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Join with sl st. (60 dc)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                \n

                TIP:<\/strong> You can stop increasing when the circle\u2019s diameter reaches about 6.5 inches for adult size<\/strong>. For children, stop around 5.5 inches.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

                \n\n\n\n

                \ud83d\udd39 Step 2: Build the Body of the Hat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                From now on, you\u2019ll work 1 dc in each stitch around<\/strong> with no increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Rounds 6\u201314:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
                  \n
                • Ch 2, dc in each stitch around. Join with sl st. (60 dc)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                  \n

                  Try the hat on or measure: this should give you a hat height of around 7\u20138 inches. Add more rounds if you want it slouchier.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

                  \n\n\n\n

                  \ud83d\udd39 Step 3: Add a Ribbed Brim (Optional)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                  To make a simple ribbed brim using single crochet<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Round 15:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
                    \n
                  • Switch to single crochet<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • Ch 1, sc in back loops only<\/strong> (BLO) around. Join with sl st.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                    Rounds 16\u201318 (or more):<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
                      \n
                    • Repeat the BLO single crochet to build a stretchy ribbed brim.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                      \n\n\n\n

                      \ud83e\uddf5 Step 4: Finish Off<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                        \n
                      • Fasten off and cut the yarn, leaving a few inches.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                      • Use a tapestry needle to weave in the ends<\/strong> neatly on the inside of the hat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                        \n\n\n\n
