Notes:

• This is an easy/beginner level crochet pattern
• Pattern written in US crochet terms
• The stitch count at the end of each row is shown in parenthesis ( )
• The ch 1 at the beginning of each row does not count as a stitch.
• This beanie will start out as a rectangle that will then be sewn up to create the beanie shape.
• If you’d like your beanie to be smaller, start with a shorter foundation chain and crochet less than 42 rows. Make sure you still end on an even numbered row.
• If you’d like to make your beanie wider, continue adding rows. Make sure you still end on an even numbered row.

Continue to finishing Instructions. Do not cut the yarn.

Finishing Instructions:

Fold your beanie in half so that the first & last rows are lined up. When folded, the last row should be facing WS out & the first row facing RS out. Create a seam with a row of slip stitches.

Once you’ve reached the end of the row, cut the yarn and fasten off (leaving a long tail for sewing). Then, using your yarn needle, weave the tail in and out of the stitches around the top of your beanie.

Pull the end tight to cinch it. Then, sew the top closed and tie it off securely.

Weave in yarn ends and turn your beanie right side out. Then, fold the bottom flap up and you’re all done!

Pom-Pom Instructions (Optional):

Using your pom-pom maker, (I use the Clover Pom-Pom Maker, size 3&3/8″) make a fluffy pom-pom with the same color yarn as your beanie, or a different yarn for an extra pop of color. Tie your pom-pom off leaving long tails to attach it to the beanie.

Using your crochet hook, pull pom-pom tails through the top of the beanie. Then, turn the beanie inside out and tie the pom-pom tails securely.

Next, weave the yarn tails back through the top of the beanie and incorporate them into the pom-pom. Cut the tails so that they are the same length as the pom-pom strands.
