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: Ch 10 or as many ch sts as you want your brim size.
Row 1: 1sc into the 2nd ch from the hook and into each ch across. Ch1 and turn. (9 sts)
Row 2: 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 69 rows (23”) for a small 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 7 sts around the brim. Join with a sl st to the 1st sc.
Notes: You should have 1 st per row. Increase number of sc sts to get a number in multiples of 7 sts.
Round 1 (mc): ch3 (counts as dc). 1dc in every st around. Join with a sl st to the 3rd ch from the beg ch3.
Round 2 (cc): ch3, 1dc in same st, *ch2, sk 6 sts, [2dc, ch1**, 2dc] in the next st. Rep from * around ending your last rep at **. Join with a sl st to the 3rd ch from the beg ch3. Fasten off.
Round 3 (mc): Fasten on at any ch1 sp, ch1, 1sc in the same ch1 sp, ch2, *1dc in each of the next 2 sts 2 rounds below (sts 3 & 4 from the skipped 6 sts), ch2**, 1sc in the next ch1 sp, ch2. Rep from * around ending your rep at **. Join with a sl st to the beg sc.
Round 4 (mc): ch3, 1dc in every st/sp. Join with a sl st to the 3rd ch from the beg ch3.
Rep round 4 until beanie measures the desired (ear to crown) height measurement (see chart above). Measure from the bottom of the brim. Adjust slouch by working less/more rounds keeping in mind the decrease adds approx. 3”.
DECREASE (mc)
Round 1: ch2 (does not count as a st), *1dc in each of the next 4 sts, dc2tog. Rep from * around. dc into any rem sts. Join with a sl st to the first dc st.
Round 2: ch2 (does not count as a st), *1dc in each of the next 3 sts, dc2tog. Rep from * around. dc into any rem sts. Join with a sl st to the first dc st.
Round 3: ch2 (does not count as a st), *1dc in each of the next 2 sts, dc2tog. Rep from * around. dc into any rem sts. Join with a sl st to the first dc st.
Rounds 4-5: ch2 (does not count as a st), *1dc in next 4 st, dc2tog. Rep from * around. dc into any rem sts. Join with a sl st to the first dc st.
Rep last round if needed.
