Crochet Beanie Hat with Ribbon



Chain 4 and join

Round 1: CH 1, 10 SC in your magic circle or chain. Do not join. (10 SC Total)

You will single crochet in the top of the beginning stitch with one continual round until the end of the cap is finished. You will want to mark your first stitch so you know approximately where a new round is beginning. There will be a shift to the left with your first stitch each round and a shift to the right with your yarn marker. If you change your marker each round, you will not notice the shift as much.

Round 2: CH 1, 2 SC in each ST around to the yarn marker. (20 SC Total)

Round 3: Ch 1, *1 SC in ea of the next 2 St's, 2 SC in the next St, repeat from *, you will be increase every 3 stitches for a total of 27 stitches. Continue around to the yarn marker. (27 SC total)

Round 4: Ch 1, 1 SC in each ST around, Continue around to the yarn marker. (27 SC total)

Round 5: Ch 1, *1 SC in ea of the next 2 St's, 2 SC in the next St, repeat from *, you will be increase every 3 stitches for a total of 36 stitches. Continue around to the yarn marker. (36 SC total)

Round 6: Ch 1, 1 SC in each ST around, Continue around to the yarn marker. (36 SC total)

Round 10: Now you do your HDC round so you start with a HDC chain one (this takes up 2sc spaces)


Round 11-24: You will continue with a single crochet in each stitch for the remaining rounds. (adding the HDC rounds where ever youd like)

When you have completed the length of your cap, skip on stitch and join in the next stitch. Cut your yarn, sew in the tail.

Making the Cap Smaller:

  1. You can use an F, G or H hook without altering the pattern.
  2. Stop increasing after round 7 and continue on to form the sides of the cap

Making the Cap Larger:

  1. You can use a larger crochet hook
  2. You can make this cap larger by adding another increase round. At round 10, you will do 1 SC in ea of the next 5 SC, 2 SC in the next. (Approximately 65 single crochet total). Round 11-24 will be 1 SC in each stitch around. You can add more stitches or less stitches for a custom fit.

  5. Such a pretty blog site! When I get brave, I'll try the ribbon-hat, possibly in some organic cotton yarn, a Wedgewood blue color. Thank you for sharing yourself with us, Neen. Hugs to M, H, S, R, R, and All the Family! Your nearly bald-headed buddy in (ugh) Texas [hee hee]! Watch for your surprise to arrive some time around Jan 25th?
