\ud83e\uddf6 How to Make a Crochet Hat with Honeycomb Stitch Pattern (EASY!)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udc1d What is the Honeycomb Stitch?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The honeycomb stitch<\/strong> in crochet typically uses front and back post double crochet (FPdc & BPdc)<\/strong> to create a textured, raised hexagonal or diamond pattern that resembles a beehive. It\u2019s beautiful, warm, and stretchy\u2014perfect for hats!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83e\uddf5 Materials You\u2019ll Need:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Yarn<\/strong>: Worsted weight yarn (Category 4), about 150\u2013200 yards<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Hook<\/strong>: 5.0 mm (H\/8) crochet hook<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Tapestry needle<\/strong> (for weaving in ends)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Scissors<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n

    \ud83d\udccf Sizing Info:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    This pattern makes an adult-sized beanie (21\u201323″ head circumference)<\/strong>, but you can adjust by changing the initial stitch count (must be a multiple of 6 for the honeycomb pattern to work).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \ud83d\udc52 Part 1: Make the Hat Brim (Optional Ribbed Band)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      This is a simple sc ribbing<\/strong> that makes the hat fit snugly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Ribbed Brim:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Ch 10<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Row 1<\/strong>: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and each ch across. (9 sc)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Row 2\u201370<\/strong> (or to desired circumference):
        Ch 1, turn, sc in back loops only across. (9 sc) Tip:<\/strong> Adjust rows to fit head snugly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Join ends<\/strong> with sl st to form a band.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        \ud83c\udf6f Part 2: Set Up for Honeycomb Stitch Pattern<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        1. Round 1 (Setup)<\/strong>:
          Ch 1, sc evenly around the edge of the band to make a base for your stitch pattern. Make sure the total number of sc is a multiple of 6<\/strong>. Sl st to join.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. Round 2<\/strong>:
          Ch 2 (does not count as st), FPdc in next 3 sts, BPdc in next 3 sts<\/em>, rep * around. Sl st to join.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          \ud83c\udf6f Part 3: Work the Honeycomb Stitch Pattern<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          The basic honeycomb pattern alternates 3 FPdc and 3 BPdc<\/strong> stitches, but you shift them every 2 rounds<\/strong> to create the “honeycomb” effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Repeat the following:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          • Round A<\/strong>: 3 FPdc, 3 BPdc<\/em> around. Sl st to join.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Round B<\/strong>: Repeat Round A.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Round C<\/strong>: 3 BPdc, 3 FPdc<\/em> around (this shifts the pattern). Sl st to join.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Round D<\/strong>: Repeat Round C.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
            \n

            \u23f3 Continue repeating Rounds A\u2013D until the hat is about 7\u20138 inches tall<\/strong> from the brim.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

            \n\n\n\n

            \ud83e\uddf5 Part 4: Shaping the Crown (Top of the Hat)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

            As you reach the desired height, start decreasing to close the top of the hat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Begin Decreases (Keep FPdc\/BPdc pattern where possible):<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            • Round 1<\/strong>: [FPdc2tog over next 2 FPdc], FPdc, [BPdc2tog over next 2 BPdc], BPdc<\/em>, repeat around.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Round 2<\/strong>: Continue decreasing: FPdc2tog, BPdc2tog around.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              Continue decreasing (switch to dc2tog if easier) until about 6\u20138 stitches remain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n\n\n\n

                \n
              1. Cut yarn, leaving a long tail.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              2. Thread the tail through the remaining stitches and pull tight to close.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              3. Weave in ends.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              4. Add a pom-pom<\/strong> if desired!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                \u2705 Tips for Success:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
                  \n
                • Use a stitch marker to keep track of the beginning of each round.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Practice FPdc and BPdc before starting if you\u2019re new to post stitches.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Block the finished hat lightly with steam to open up the stitch texture.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
