Materials Needed

• Crochet Hook: 9 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 7 stitches and 8 rows = 4 inches in ribbed pattern

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Create a magic ring to begin your beanie. This will form the base of your hat.
2. Round 1: Chain 2 (this counts as your first double crochet). Work 11 double crochets (dc) into the magic ring. Join the round by slip stitching (sl st) to the top of the chain-2. You should have a total of 12 stitches.
3. Round 2: Chain 2, then work a front post double crochet (fpdc) around each stitch in the round. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain-2. You will still have 12 stitches.
4. Round 3: Chain 2, then *fpdc around the next stitch, followed by a double crochet in the next stitch; repeat from * around the entire round. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain-2. You should now have 18 stitches.
5. Round 4: Chain 2, then *fpdc around the next stitch, followed by double crochets in the next 2 stitches; repeat from * around. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain-2. You will have 24 stitches at the end of this round.
6. Continue Increasing: Keep working in the established pattern, increasing evenly in the double crochet sections until the beanie reaches your desired circumference. Make sure to check your gauge to ensure a proper fit.
7. Work Even: Once you have reached the desired circumference, continue working in the established pattern without any increases until the beanie measures your desired length from the crown to the brim.
8. Finish the Beanie: To complete your beanie, work a round of single crochet (sc) in each stitch around. This will give your beanie a clean finish. After finishing, fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle.

Congratulations! You have successfully created your very own chunky ribbed crochet beanie. Enjoy wearing it or gifting it to someone special!
