Instructions
To Begin: Make magic ring. Work 8 sc in magic ring. (8 sc)
Rnd 1: Work 2 hdc in each sc around. (16 hdc)
Rnd 2: *1 hdc in next st, 2 hdc in next st.* Repeat from * to * around. (24 hdc)
Rnd 3: *1 hdc in next 2 sts, 2 hdc in next st.* Repeat from * to * around. (32 hdc)
Rnd 4: *1 hdc in next 3 sts, 2 hdc in next st.* Repeat from * to * around. (40 hdc)
Rnd 5: *1 hdc in next 4 sts, 2 hdc in next st.* Repeat from * to * around. (48 hdc)
Rnd 6: *1 hdc in next 5 sts, 2 hdc in next st.* Repeat from * to * around. (56 hdc)
Rnd 7: *1 hdc in next 6 sts, 2 hdc in next st.* Repeat from * to * around. (64 hdc)
Rnd 8: *1 hdc in next 7 sts, 2 hdc in next st.* Repeat from * to * around. (72 hdc)
Rnd 9: *1 hdc in next 8 sts, 2 hdc in next st.* Repeat from * to * around. (80 hdc)
Continue working hdc in each stitch around until the hat reaches your desired length. For a hat that fits a 20–22” head circumference, this will typically be about 8-9 inches from the crown to the brim. To ensure a good fit, try on the hat periodically as you work.
Finishing
Once the hat reaches the desired length, sl st into the first hdc of the final round to join. Fasten off and weave in all loose ends with your yarn needle. For a polished look, you may gently block your beanie.
Emma’s Tips
Working in continuous rounds can sometimes make it tricky to keep track of where one round ends and the next begins. I highly recommend using a stitch marker in the first stitch of each round to avoid getting off track. This simple trick can save you a lot of counting and potential frustration! Also, don’t be afraid to try on your beanie as you go, especially after the increase rounds are complete. This helps ensure you achieve the perfect length for a comfortable fit. If you’re new to crochet, this beanie is a fantastic project to build confidence with basic stitches while creating something truly wearable.
