Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in a peach color
• Crochet Hook: 5.5 mm crochet hook
• Scissors: For cutting the yarn
• Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring:
   • To create a magic ring, wrap the yarn around your fingers to form a loop, then pull a loop of yarn through the center of the ring. This will be the foundation for your beanie.
2. Round 1:
   • Chain 2 (this counts as your first puff stitch).
   • Make 11 puff stitches into the magic ring. To make a puff stitch, yarn over, insert your hook into the ring, yarn over again, pull through (you should have 3 loops on your hook), yarn over again, pull through the first 2 loops on your hook, yarn over, insert into the ring again, yarn over, pull through (now you have 4 loops on your hook), yarn over, pull through the first 2 loops again, and repeat this process until you have 5 loops on your hook. Yarn over and pull through all 5 loops. This completes one puff stitch.
   • Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the top of the first puff stitch. You should have a total of 12 puff stitches.
3. Round 2:
   • Chain 2.
   • Make 2 puff stitches in each stitch around. Join with a sl st. You should have a total of 24 puff stitches.
4. Round 3:
   • Chain 2.
   • In this round, you will alternate between 1 puff stitch and 2 puff stitches. Start by making 1 puff stitch in the first stitch, then make 2 puff stitches in the next stitch. Repeat this pattern around the entire round. Join with a sl st. You should have a total of 36 puff stitches.
5. Rounds 4-10:
   • For these rounds, simply chain 2 and make 1 puff stitch in each stitch around. Join with a sl st at the end of each round. Continue this until you have completed 10 rounds in total.
6. Finish Up:
   • Once you have completed the 10 rounds, fasten off your yarn by cutting it and pulling it through the last loop on your hook.
   • Use a tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends, ensuring your beanie looks neat and polished.
