I am asked time and time again How do you crochet a women's simple beanie hat that's easy for beginners?
TO crochet this hat You will need to know how to :
Work in the round and slip stitch to join.
Double Crochet -
Yarn over. Insert hook into the stitch where you want to place the dc stitch. Yarn over again. Pull through.
Yarn over again.
Pull through the first two of three loops on hook.
Yarn over again. Pull through the remaining two loops on the hook.
How to Crochet in the round by joining with a slip stitch
If you feel this is too advanced for you then perhaps try my simple Hat Pattern made from a rectangle. You will work back and forth in ROWS for this hat.

If you are confident working out the increases for making larger or smaller, remember that using different sizes use different hooks, and thicker wool can help achieve your sizing
Please note I am a VERY loose crocheter so if you feel you need to you can go up a hook size to 4.50mm to achieve your sizing.
NOTE: The FIRST stitches are WOrked INTO THE BASE of the Chain stitch.
Ch4 and join with sl st to form ring, ch 2.
Rnd 1: 10dc in ring, sl st to first dc, ch 2.
Rnd 2: 2 dc in base of chain, 2dc in next st, and in each st around,sl st to top of ch 2.(20 sts)
Rnd 3: Ch2, 2 dc in next dc, (dc in next dc, 2 dc in next) repeat around, sl st to top of ch 2. (30 sts.)
Rnd 4: Ch2, 2 dc in next dc, (dc in next 2 dc, 2 dc in next dc) repeat around,sl st to top of ch 2 (40sts.)
Rnd 5: Ch2, 2 dc in next dc, (dc in next 3 dc, 2 dc in next dc) repeat around,sl st to top of ch 2. (50sts).
Rnd 6: Ch2, 2 dc in next dc, (dc in next 4 dc, 2 dc in next dc) repeat around, sl st to top of ch 2. (60 sts).
you have now reached the circumference of your hat, so if you think you need it larger just continue increasing in the established pattern
Continue working the first DC into the BASE of the ch2.
Continue working the first DC into the BASE of the ch2.
Rnd 7 to Rnd 16: Dc in each stitch around, slip to join, ch 2.
(Work until the desired length is achieved)
Rnd 17: I like to finish off with a smaller crochet stitch. I would work Half Double Crochet Around. But you can still finish with the Double Crochet stitch around (60 sts).
