Beanies

Photobucket

I don't make a whole lot of beanies these days, I'm more of a scarf/slipper/dishcloth kind of girl.  That is actually all the more reason for me to post my beanie pattern here, since it seems like there's always an opportunity to make a beanie or two, and sometimes it's hard to remember the specifics of how many stitches go where.  In light of that, where better to have it written out than here, where I know right where it is, huh?

So, with that in mind, this is my go-to beanie pattern, in Charlotte-ese (like most of my patterns)

 Basic Beanie 
 Size 0-6 months
 Hook size H
Caron Simply Soft Yarn

Chain 3 or 4, join in circle (or use magic circle)

next round should have six single crochets in it,

next round should have twelve

next round should have eighteen

continue until there are five singles in between each set of two.

Then, go around with no doubles until hat measures between 6 1/2” and 7” high.

Hat should measure between 13” and 15 1/2” around and between 6 1/2” and 7” high.

Size 6-12 months

Hook size G
Caron Simply Soft Yarn

Chain 3 or 4, join in circle

next round should have six single crochets in it,

next round should have twelve

next round should have eighteen

continue until there are six singles in between each set of two. 

Then, go around with no doubles.

 Size 1-3 years
 Hook size H
Caron Simply Soft Yarn

Chain 3 or 4, join in circle

next round should have six single crochets in it,

next round should have twelve

next round should have eighteen

continue until there are six singles in between each set of two.

Then, go around with no doubles until hat measures around 8” high.

Hat should measure between 17 ½” and 18 ½ ” around and around 8” high.

  1. I use that beanie pattern for all the hats I make for Humanitarian. Only the second row has 9 stitches instead of 6. I have shared it all over Cedar & SLC over the last ? (forever)years. All to your credit.
