• Gauge: 8 stitches and 6 rows = 4 inches in pattern stitch
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Create a magic ring by wrapping the yarn around your fingers and pulling the working yarn through the loop. This will be the foundation of your beanie.
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 dc in this round.
3. Round 2: Chain 2, then work a front post double crochet (fpdc) around the same stitch. Next, work a dc in the next stitch. Repeat the following pattern: *fpdc around the next stitch, dc in the next stitch; repeat from * around. Join with a sl st to the top of the chain 2. You will have 12 fpdc and 12 dc in this round.
4. Round 3: Chain 2, work an fpdc around the same stitch. Then, dc in the next dc, fpdc around the next fpdc. Repeat the following pattern: *dc in the next dc, fpdc around the next fpdc; repeat from * around. Join with a sl st to the top of the chain 2.
5. Continue Rounds: Repeat Round 3 until your beanie measures approximately 8 inches from the top. Make sure to measure as you go to achieve your desired length.
6. Finishing Touch: To create a neat edge, finish with a round of single crochet (sc) in each stitch around the beanie. This will give it a polished look. Once completed, fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends using a tapestry needle.
