An easy knit look beanie Free written crochet pattern
Being Warm at this time of year is essential.
I find a lot of the basic beanie crochet hats quite drafty around the ear part, so I challenged myself to crochet a WARM cozy turnup Hat for myself and one for my husband.
My husband did not want a pom pom on his so the way the top of the crochet hat is constructed means it fits around the crown shape of your head.
Here in the NORTH of Scotland winds are strong and it's chilly.
We Love going for long walks and appreciate a warm cosy hat.

I am always looking for a good thick warm hat.
The Double Thick brim ensures ears are kept snug
and warm
It makes it even better when it's a fast, easy crochet pattern to make this hat!
Worked in Rows,
using the amazing 3rd loop stitch of the HDC. and working either Into the Front diagonal
loop or working into the Back of the 3rd loop.
For help identifying the 3rd loop look just under
what we would normally call the front and
back loops that make our V.
After working a normal HDC row, turn your work and You will see the Diagonal Bar.
Highlighted HERE in the picture below with the hook going THROUGH the diagonal bar
THIS is the 3rd stitch/loop/bar of the HDC.
This is where we will be working when creating
the front HDC stitch.
When working the BACK Half double crochet,
we want to insert our hook
and pull this diagonal 3rd bar to the BACK
of the work to complete our HDC .
(we are pushing the front and back loop V
to the front of our work)
Working in this manner makes a beautiful
KNIT 2, purl 1 effect,
and makes this hat look like it's been knitted.
But It's definitely a crocheted hat.
For more explanations of how we will work
these stitches also

You can Make all Sizes of the hat if you
have head measurements.

knit look in the middle of the hat.

- Hook 6.00mm
Special Stitches:
For the purposes of THIS pattern.
Front HDC 3rd loop - Fhdc3rd loop
Back HDC 3rd loop - Bhdc 3rd loop
Notes: It's very easy to make this hat in ANY size you wish.
Hat Height from top of crown to bottom of the ear – this will be your foundation chain.
How many Stitches You HAVE in TOTAL will depend on how long you wish your hat.
If you want a Big Turn up like mine then remember to include THAT measurement when you measure from the top of the crown to under the ear and then fold UP measuring tape until you have the BRIM size you want.
Measure head around just above the ears. Circumference of head.
This will be how LONG you work your rows Back and Forward until the circumference measurement is reached.
Working in ROWS and back loops of slip and single crochet, and working into the 3rd loop of HDC.
SC - Single crochet
HDC - half double crochet
slst- slip stitch
