Instructions
Base Beanie
Chain 3, slip stitch in first stitch to form a ring,
ROUND 1: Chain 2, 10 dc in ring. Join at second loop of ch 2.
ROUND 2: Chain 2, dc in same stitch as sl st join. 2 dc in next stitch and each stitch around. Join. (20 stitches)
ROUND 3: Chain 2, dc in same st as sl st join. 1 dc in next st. *2 dc in next st, 1 dc in next st.* Repeat around. Join. (30 stitches)
ROUND 4: Chain 2, dc in same st as sl st join. 1 dc in next 2 st. *2 dc in next st, 1 dc in next 2 st.* Repeat around. (40 stitches)
ROUND 1: Chain 2, 10 dc in ring. Join at second loop of ch 2.
ROUND 2: Chain 2, dc in same stitch as sl st join. 2 dc in next stitch and each stitch around. Join. (20 stitches)
ROUND 3: Chain 2, dc in same st as sl st join. 1 dc in next st. *2 dc in next st, 1 dc in next st.* Repeat around. Join. (30 stitches)
ROUND 4: Chain 2, dc in same st as sl st join. 1 dc in next 2 st. *2 dc in next st, 1 dc in next 2 st.* Repeat around. (40 stitches)
(If you want a larger size, you can increase the size by
adding 1 dc in each round. So for
example the next round would read Chain 2, dc in the same st as sl st to join.
*1 dc in the next 3 st. 2 dc in next st, 1
dc in next 3st.* Repeat around. [50 stitches])
ROUND 5 : Chain 2, dc in each stitch around. Join. (40 stitches)
ROUND 5 : Chain 2, dc in each stitch around. Join. (40 stitches)
Continue ROUND 5 until hat reaches desired length, (I
usually aim for about 4.5 inches past starter rows.
When desired length is reached, finish the round you are
working, and finish off.
Weave in all ends, trimming excess yarn as necessary.
Ribbed Edging
Chain 4, turn.
Using back loops only
single crochet across, adding a chain at the end of each row for turning.
Keep crocheting until you have a length of ribbed crochet work that fits
around the base of the beanie sideways without stretching too much.
Leaving a long tail for sewing, cut yarn. Using tapestry needle, sew ribbing to
bottom of the beanie, and then sew two ends of ribbing together at the back of
the hat to create a complete circle.
(You may want to use stitch markers to hold the ribbing in place as you
sew.
Pom-Pom
First cut a piece of yarn about 12
inches long and set it aside. You will use this piece to tie up your pom-pom
yarn to keep it all together. Then start wrapping your pom-pom yarn around your
hand. (I used 3 fingers for this hat)
Keep wrapping until you have quite a
bit of yarn wrapped around your hand.
For a nice full pom-pom, you need to
wrap A LOT of yarn. Don't be shy. You can always pull some out if it's too
full, but adding more yarn after your pom-pom is made is impossible.
Pull your bundle of wrapped yarn off your hand carefully and lay it down over the cut piece of yarn that you had set aside, holding the folded ends firmly.
Pull your bundle of wrapped yarn off your hand carefully and lay it down over the cut piece of yarn that you had set aside, holding the folded ends firmly.
Wrap the cut length of yarn around and
around and around the middle of the bundle, pulling it very tightly with each
wrap. Tie a good strong knot but DO NOT trim the ends of the tying yarn. You
can use these long ends to attach the pom-pom to the top of the hat.
Using your sharpest scissors, cut the
loops on one side of the tied bundle.
Now you have a nice little crazy
looking ball of yarn, with two long ends sticking out. You can leave it this
way if you like, or you can give it a haircut.
For a nice tight pom-pom, again using
your sharp scissors, trim all around the pom-pom so that all the yarn ends are
even and the pom-pom is the size you want it.
Finally, using the two long strings,
attach the pom-pom to the top of your hat.
