Materials Needed

• Yarn: Bulky weight yarn
• Crochet Hook: 6.5 mm (K) crochet hook
• Gauge: 10 stitches x 10 rows = 4 inches in double crochet

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a magic ring: Create a magic ring by wrapping the yarn around your fingers and pulling a loop through. This will be the foundation of your beanie.
2. Round 1: Chain 2 (this counts as your first double crochet), then work 12 double crochets (dc) into the magic ring. Pull the ring tight to close.
3. Round 2: Chain 2, then make 2 dc in each stitch around. You should have a total of 24 dc at the end of this round.
4. Round 3: Chain 2, then *1 dc in the next stitch, 2 dc in the next stitch; repeat from * around. You should have 36 dc at the end of this round.
5. Rounds 4-10: Chain 2, then dc in each stitch around for 7 rounds. This will build the height of your beanie.
6. Round 11: Chain 2, then *1 dc in the next 5 stitches, 2 dc in the next stitch; repeat from * around. You should have 42 dc at the end of this round.
7. Round 12: Chain 2, then dc in each stitch around. This will complete the main body of the hat.
8. For the brim: Switch to working in the back loop only. Chain 1, then single crochet (sc) in each stitch around for 5 rounds. This creates a nice ribbed effect for the brim.
9. To create ties: Chain 30, then sc in each chain back to the start. This will form the ties that will secure your beanie.
10. Attach ties: Sew or slip stitch the ties to the bottom of the hat, ensuring they are securely fastened.
11. Finish off: Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail. Pull the tail through the last loop to secure. Weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle.

Congratulations! You have successfully created your very own cozy beanie hat. Enjoy wearing it or gifting it to someone special!
