Pattern Overview:

Initial Setup:

Start with a Slip knot.

Single crochet into the second chain from the hook and each chain across until the end.
You will have 32 single crochets.

Row 2:

Turn your work, chain 1.

Single crochet normally (through both loops) in the next 24 stitches.
Leave the last 3 stitches unworked, turn your work.

For Row 3:

Single crochet in the back loop only for the last 5 stitches.

Repeat the pattern from Row 2, but on reaching the last part of the row, single crochet into the corresponding stitches from two rows below to taper the top of the hat.

Row 5:

Chain 1, single crochet in each stitch across, completing the set by working in the back loops of the last 5 stitches.

Repeat Rows 2 through 5:

Until the piece measures approximately to fit around your head (standard sizes are 20 or 22 inches in circumference), ending on a Row 5 to prepare for seaming.

Closing and Finishing:

Seam the edges using a mattress stitch.

Use a long strand of yarn and needle, start from one side and alternate the stitches tightly to create a seamless join.

Close the top of the hat:

Using remaining yarn, whip stitch around the top, pulling tight to cinch the hat closed.

Make and attach a pom-pom:

Use a pom-pom maker or cardboard to create a pom-pom and sew it to the top of the hat.

Additional Tips:

Maintain even tension throughout to ensure that the beanie sizes correctly.
The pattern can be adjusted for different sizes by increasing or decreasing the initial chain count or the number of repeat rows.

Final Touches:

Weave in all loose ends and adjust the brim as desired for a more or less slouchy look.
