MEASUREMENTS
This is just a standard head sizing chart provided for your convenience. This is not the final size. Sizes may differ due to crocheter’s tension and type of yarn used.
INSTRUCTIONS
BRIM | Smaller hook size
Foundation (MC): Ch 10 or as many ch sts as you want your brim size.
Note: Video for different brims! Adjust brim to accommodate the height of your beanie.
Row 1 (MC): 1sc into the 2nd ch from the hook and into each ch across. Ch1 and turn. (9 sts)
Row 2 (MC): 1sc tbl in the first st and every st across. Ch1 and turn. (9 sts)
Repeat row 2 until desired circumference ending on the same side as the beginning tail. Measure brim while slightly stretched. You want the brim snug but not over stretched. See chart on page 1 for standard circumference sizes.
Example: I worked 61 rows (23”) for a med adult.
Seaming the brim | Video Tutorial
Align the 2 short ends together. Work a sl st through the “chain” end of the brim and through the back loops of the other end of the brim. Flip brim right side out so the seam is on the inside.
BODY | Switch to larger hook size
Set up round 1 (Video): Ch1, work sc sts loosely in multiples of 6 sts around the brim. Join with a sl st to the 1st sc.
Notes: You should have 1 sc for every row of brim. Increase number of sc sts to get a number in multiples of 6 sts.
Set up Round 2 (MC): ch1, 1sc in same st, *ch1, sk2 sts, [hdc, ch1, hdc] in next st, ch1, sk2 sts**, 1sc in next st. Rep from * ending your last rep at **. Join with a sl st to the beg sc. Fasten off the mc.
Round 1 (CC): [1 shell st, ch1] in every ch1 sp between the hdc sts. Start the first dc as a standing dc (or use a ch3). Join with a sl st to the first dc st. Fasten off the cc.
Round 2 (MC): Fasten on in the center of the shell st, ch1, 1sc in the same st, *ch1, crossed spiked st, ch1, 1sc in center of shell st. Rep from * around. End with ch1, sl st to the first sc st. Fasten off the mc.
Round 3 (CC): [1 shell st, ch1] in every ch1 sp between the crossed spiked sts. Start the first dc as a standing dc (or use a ch3). Join with a sl st to the first dc st. Fasten off the cc.
Repeat rounds 2 & 3 until the beanie measures the desired (ear to crown) height measurement (see chart above) ending after round 3. Measure from the bottom of the brim. Adjust slouch by working less/more rounds keeping in mind the decrease adds approx. 2.5”.
DECREASE
