This pattern has everything in it that I was searching for when I was learning to crochet.  My goal for this pattern is for you to be able to match my gauge, work this hat and for it to fit the recipient perfectly.  I want this hat to meet all of your expectations and be your go to hat pattern.  I want you to be creative and to test how far this versatile pattern can actually go.  

Gauge is very important with all projects, especially when making a garment to fit well.  If you cannot match gauge exactly it is more important to match the stitches portion and then crochet more or less rounds/rows until you’ve got the correct length.  To check your gauge, use a measuring tape to count how many stitches across you have per inch and again with how many rows/rounds per inch.  Compare with the designer and if it doesn’t match up, go up or down a hook size until it does!

Circumference is the measurement of your head going around it.  There are charts out there with the average circumference size by age, it’s ok to follow those most of the time but keep in mind, not everyone has an average size head.  The circumference of your hat should be about 2” less than the actual circumference of the head it’s for to allow for stretch.  To make sure your hat is going to fit properly, you should measure the circumference of the head you are making it for.  (ex. you just got an order for a 6 month old baby, you are given a circ measurement of 20”, go ahead and make the 1-4yr old size hat for that baby)

Diameter is a flat measurement through the circumference (line through the circle).  To obtain the correct size you crochet increase rounds until the correct diameter measurement is reached, then you just crochet around evenly for length.

Stitch Count  It’s important to maintain the correct stitch count!  You should be counting your stitches after every single round to make sure you didn’t accidentally increase or decrease.  Increasing or decreasing when you’re not suppose to will change the size of your hat!

Wherever you see rsc, you can substitute sc if you’d like.  I just prefer the way the rsc gives it more of a finished look.

If you’d like to start your beanie using the magic circle method, follow the video on the first page to make your circle, ch 1 and hdc the amount called for in Rd 1 inside your circle.

This pattern was a lot of work for myself and my testers.  I wanted it to be free so everyone has access to a hat pattern that has it all.  If you are happy with this pattern, the best payment I could ever receive is feedback and photos of your work posted on ravelry.  Thank you so much!

If you like your beanies a little longer (fully covering ears and reaches just to the eyes) you can go around one more round before final sc/rsc round.

Pom Pom use a pom pom maker or your fingers (I love my pom pom maker!)

Wrap yarn around 3 or 4 fingers about 60 times, cut yarn.  Cut a piece of yarn about 7” long and tie a knot around center of looped yarn, wrap it around to the other side and knot again.  Pull tails of the tie through the center hole of hat and secure.  Take scissors and cut all the loops, then trim the pom pom for shape.

Pull one side of the ends through the tip of the earflap and keep pulling until even with the other end.  Separate into 3 sections of 4 strands and braid.  Tie a knot at the end and trim fringe. 

Repeat on the other ear flap, make sure your knots match up so the braids are even and that your fringe is the same length on both braids.

Color Changing

Insert hook into next stitch and pull up color you’ve been crocheting with.  You will now have 3 like colors of yarn on your hook (3 because we’re doing hdc).  Now pick up the new color and pull through all 3 loops on the hook.

Continue hdc with new color.  The new color will not match up once you meet up with it but I personally think this looks better than joining and having a seem.  If you are ok with this look, just make sure you always add the new color on the back of the hat.

Mohawk Fringe

Fold your hat in half with the fold going through the front center, make sure fold is centered through the top circle (first stitches when you began hat).

Cut (6) 6” strips of yarn.  

Fold strips in half, starting 1” above rim of hat for 0-12mo and 2” above rim of hat for 12m-adult, pull center of strips through stitch located on the fold.

Now pull all 12 ends through the loop.

Repeat this process for each stitch on the folded line all the way to the last stitch on the rim (back of hat).

With hat still laying folded on it’s side, use scissors to trim mohawk so all strips are even.  For a fuzzy mohawk, you can untwist each strand of yarn.
