Making up these gorgeous hats is both fun and rewarding as you can change them to suit, for sizes very easily.
Using the basic beanie pattern, this is a gorgeous baby hat for the little princess.

You can get the same by Chain 4 slip into 1st Stitch to create a cirlce and make the amount of stitches needed into circle. but once you master the magic loop there will be no stopping you! good luck and do let me know if you get it
I am a new crocheter, and am a little confused with this pattern-
ReplyDeletedo I make a stitch in the base of the chain 3 on each round?
And doesn't 2 DC, 2DC in next St, mean the same thing as 2DC in each stitch around? I'm so confused!! Help!
thanks much- CEA
Yes to the stitch in the base of the chain 3 in every round!
DeleteNope it is not the same, you are creating increase
ReplyDeletefor the 2 DC, 2DC in next stitch (3 stitches and creating 1 extra) making 4 stitches out of 3?
you 2 DC, DC 2 into the third.....
Hope this helps
This is the basic pattern for a beanie, just keep increasing until circumference desired is reached

ReplyDeleteRnd 3: Rnd 3: Ch3, *1DC, 2DC in next st* repeat from * to * around
Rnd 4: Ch3, *2 DC, 2DC in next St* repeat around
Rnd 5 to Rnd 9 continue in DC continue starting in base of chain 3
Rnd 10- Rnd 14 Sc around.

Hope it helps :)
What size crochet hook did you use for this pattern? Thanks!

ReplyDeleteThis is my first hat and I'm alittle confused. On round 4 do I just chain 3 1dc all the way around or is it a mix between 2dc and 1dc? Thank you in advance.
