Written Pattern
Notes: This pattern is worked in continuous rounds which means that there is no joining at the end of each round. Place a stitch marker into the 1st stitch made on each round.
Starting at the Crown (top of beanie)
ch 4, join into 1st ch st with a sl st to form a ring.
Rnd 1: 8 sc into the center of the ring. (8 sts)
Rnd 2: 2 sc into each st around to the end. (16 sts)
Rnd 3: * 1 sc into next st, 2 sc into next st, rep from * around to the end. (24 sts)
Rnd 4: * 1 sc into each of next 2 sts, 2 sc into next st, rep from * around to the end. (32 sts)

Rnd 8: * 1 sc into each of next 6 sts, 2 sc into next st, rep from * around to the end. (64 sts; you will now only be working with these 64 sts for the sides of the beanie which means we won’t be making anymore increases.)
Rnd 9: 1 sc into each st around to the end.
Tighten the center yarn tail by weaving it in with a yarn needle.
Sides of Beanie
Rnds 10 – 27: 1 sc into each st around to end.

About Paula
I have made several attempts to learn the art of crocheting a hat, watched numerous videos on youtube but to no avail, it would start looking like a flat flying saucer. I noticed in your pattern above that there does not seem to be an increase within the round. How can I tell that the shape is starting to actually look like a hat? I’ve done numerous ruffle scarfs for family members and I’m working on a queen size afghan that is absolutely beautiful with over 5 colors, but the only thing I continue to get stuck on are hats.
Thanks for all your help, I think what it is, is the hats have a gauge that must be adhered to, and I have a difficult time attempting to understand the tension of the pattern or at least making sure it is right.
Thanks for your feedback

Hi Crystal,
This hat will continue to look like a flying saucer for quite some time during the pattern because it is increasing right up to round 8, after that you are working on the sides and you need to continue working and then the sides will come on down as they should. You just need to complete the pattern or follow the video tutorial and it will turn out the same as what I have.
Thank you for being such a wonderful teacher!!! You are so clear and easy to follow and you videos are wonderful! I just completed my very first beanie (this beginner one) And while it looks great, it’s too small for any human head in my family
Any suggestions? Should I add a couple more increase rows? Does a stretchier yarn work with this pattern as well?
Again… thanks so much for helping me learn to crochet!
You’re welcome, Melissa. I’m glad you are learning easily from my videos. Yay, you’ve made your first beanie, good stuff! Yep, if it’s too small then add a few more increase rounds or you can use a bulkier yarn or bigger sized hook.
It’s a pity you don’t have a donate button!
