This pattern recipe will have you crocheting baby beanies in no time with whatever yarn and hook you

have on hand. Skill Level: Easy Step 1: Choose Your Materials Yarn: Your choice of yarn. For my baby beanie I chose Lion Brand, Baby's First, a bulky weight cotton and acrylic yarn blend. If youre unsure what the best material for your hat is then you might be interested in reading the Yarn for Baby Hats article before beginning. Yardage: How much yardage, or how many grams, of yarn you use is going to vary. The weight of your yarn (DK, worsted, bulky, etc.) and the fiber will all impact how much you need. To give you a general guide Ive provided approximate yardage for a baby beanie using worsted weight. Do remember, however, that this is a guide only and your results may be different. Preemie Beanie: 30 to 50 yards Newborn Beanie: 50 to 70 yards Baby Beanie: 60 to 80 yards Toddler Beanie: 70 to 90 yards Crochet Hook: This crochet baby beanie is a no gauge project. Choose a crochet hook that works well with your yarn. If youre not sure, check the yarn label. Large manufacturers will print the recommended hook size near the care instructions on every yarn wrapper. For the sample beanie I used a size J/6mm crochet hook paired with my bulky weight yarn. Extras: Measuring tape Tapestry needle for sewing hat together and weaving in ends Special Techniques: Crocheting in the round Step 2: Choose Your Finished Size The next step after choosing your materials is deciding what size you want your finished hat to be. If the hat recipient is handy then use a measuring tape to determine forehead circumference. If this isnt possible you may wish to refer to the baby hat size chart. Write down your desired finished hat circumference. Youll need to know this measurement during the next step. The sample beanie measures 13.25 forehead circumference. Step 3: Begin Crocheting Note that all beanie hats will begin the same no matter what finished size youre making. Chain 4, slip stitch to the first chain to form a ring. Foundation Round: Chain 1 (counts as 1st single crochet), work 7 single crochet into the center of the ring -- 8 single crochet total. Round 1: Chain 1 and single crochet in same stitch (this counts as 2 single crochet in the 1st stitch), work 2 single crochet in each stitch around, slip stitch to beginning chain to join round -- 16 single crochet. Round 2: Chain 1 and single crochet in same stitch (this counts as 2 single crochet in the 1st stitch),

1 single crochet in next stitch, *2 single crochet in next stitch (increases stitch count by 1), 1 single crochet in next stitch; repeat from * to end, slip stitch in beginning chain to join -- 24 single crochet. Round 3: Chain 1 and single crochet in same stitch (this counts as 2 single crochet in the 1st stitch), 1 single crochet in next 2 stitches, *2 single crochet in next stitch (increases stitch count by 1), 1 single crochet in next 2 stitches; repeat from * to end, slip stitch in beginning chain to join -- 32 single crochet. Continue in this manner, working 1 more stitch between increases on each round, until hat is desired circumference. For example, round 4 would be: Chain 1 and single crochet in same stitch (this counts as 2 single crochet in the 1st stitch), 1 single crochet in next 3 stitches, *2 single crochet in next stitch (increases stitch count by 1), 1 single crochet in next 3 stitches; repeat from * to end, slip stitch in beginning chain to join -- 40 single crochet. To check and see if beanie is desired circumference you may use either of the following methods. 1. Lay crochet piece on a flat surface. Use a flexible measuring tape to measure around the outer edge of the circle. 2. Use a ruler to measure how many stitches are in 1 inch. Count the number of stitches in your round and divide it by the number of stitches you have in 1 inch. The number you end up with is your circumference. For example, if I've counted 3 stitches per inch and have 40 stitches in my round then I know the circumference of my beanie is 13.25 inches. Work Even Once youve increased to your desired stitch count, continue to single crochet each round until beanie reaches the right length. If your hat recipient is handy then simply place the hat on their head to check length. If not, you may refer to the Baby Hat Size Chart for standard length measurements. Finishing Fasten off yarn and weave in ends
