How To Crochet Beanie Hat
Materials:
- Yarn: Alize Lanagold Classic (210 meters per 100 grams)
- Smaller Hook: Recommended for this specific yarn
- Larger Hook: Slightly larger than the smaller hook
- Scissors
- Yarn Needle
Abbreviations:
- CH: Chain

- SL ST: Slip Stitch
- BLO: Back Loop Only

Pattern:
Brim:
- Start with the smaller hook and make a slip knot.
- CH 10 (or more if you want a higher brim).
- Row 1: SC into the second chain from the hook and in each chain across. (9 SC)
- Row 2: CH 1, turn. SC under both loops in the first stitch, SC BLO in the next 7 stitches, SC under both loops in the last stitch.
- Repeat Row 2 until you have a total of 72 rows (or a number that fits the circumference of your head and is a multiple of 3).
Joining the Brim:
- Fold the brim in half and join with SL ST through both loops at one end and the leftover front loop from the other end.
- Turn the work inside out to hide the seam.
Body:
- Switch to the larger hook.
- Round 1: CH 1, SC into each row end around the brim. (72 SC)
- SL ST to the first SC.
Pattern Stitch (Alternating Rounds of SC and Spike Stitch):
- Round 2: CH 1, SC into the same stitch, SC into each stitch around. SL ST to the first SC.
- Round 3: CH 1, skip first stitch, *SPIKE SC into the stitch 2 rows below the next SC, SC into the next SC, repeat from * around. SL ST to the first SPIKE SC.
- Repeat Round 2 and Round 3 until the body of the hat measures about 20 cm from the brim.

Finishing:
