Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn
• Crochet Hook: 10mm crochet hook
• 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 half double crochet, hdc). Work 11 hdc into the magic ring. To close the round, join with a slip stitch (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 from Round 1. Join with a sl st to the top of the chain-2. You will still have 12 stitches.
4. Round 3: Chain 2, then *fpdc around the next stitch, hdc in the next stitch*. Repeat from * to * around the entire round. Join with a sl st to the top of the chain-2. You should now have 24 stitches.
5. Round 4: Repeat the same process as Round 3: Chain 2, *fpdc around the next stitch, hdc in the next stitch*. Continue this pattern around and join with a sl st to the top of the chain-2. You will still have 24 stitches.
6. Continue Rounds: Keep repeating Round 4 until your beanie measures 8 inches from the top of the crown to the bottom edge. This will create the desired length for your beanie.
7. Create the Ribbed Brim: Once you reach the desired length, fold up the bottom edge of the beanie to create a ribbed brim. This will give your beanie a stylish finish.
8. Finish Up: Fasten off your yarn by cutting it, leaving a long tail. Use a tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends and secure your work.
