Materials Needed

• Hook: Size N/P (10 mm) crochet hook
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a magic ring:
   • To create a magic ring, hold the yarn in your hand, wrap it around your fingers, and pull a loop through. This will be the starting point for your beanie.
2. Round 1:
   • Ch 1 (this does not count as a stitch).
   • Work 8 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring.
   • Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first single crochet to close the round.
3. Round 2:
   • Ch 1.
   • Work 2 puff stitches in each single crochet around. (To make a puff stitch, yarn over, insert your hook into the stitch, yarn over again, pull through, yarn over, pull through the first 2 loops on your hook, yarn over, insert your hook into the same stitch, yarn over, pull through, yarn over, pull through the first 2 loops on your hook, repeat this until you have 4 loops on your hook, then yarn over and pull through all 4 loops.)
   • Join with a slip stitch to the first puff stitch (you should have 16 puff stitches).
4. Round 3:
   • Ch 1.
   • *Work 1 puff stitch in the next puff stitch, then 2 puff stitches in the next puff stitch.* Repeat from * to * around.
   • Join with a slip stitch (you should have 24 puff stitches).
5. Round 4:
   • Ch 1.
   • *Work 1 puff stitch in each of the next 2 puff stitches, then 2 puff stitches in the next puff stitch.* Repeat from * to * around.
   • Join with a slip stitch (you should have 32 puff stitches).
6. Continue increasing:
   • Keep working in this pattern, increasing evenly until the beanie reaches your desired circumference. You can try it on as you go to ensure a good fit.
7. Work even:
   • Once you have reached the desired circumference, continue working in the puff stitch pattern without increasing until you achieve your desired length for the beanie.
8. Finish up:
   • Fasten off your yarn, leaving a long tail for weaving in.
   • Use a tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends securely.
