Basic Techniques and Terms
Crocheting a beanie involves several key techniques:
- Chain Stitch (ch): The foundation of your project.
- Double Crochet (dc): Provides texture and density to the hat.
- Slip Stitch (sl st): Used to join rounds and finish edges.
Step by Step Pattern Guide
- Starting Off: Create 107 chains with the 3.5 mm hook, forming a foundation ring by slip stitching into the first chain.
- Row 1: Switch to the 4 mm hook, chain 3 (counts as the first dc), then dc in each chain around. Join with a sl st to the top of the starting chain.
- Row 2 and Beyond: Alternate between front and back double crochets to create a ribbed texture. Continue this pattern, increasing the height to your preference.
Expert Tips and Tricks
- Maintain even tension throughout for a consistent texture.
- Use stitch markers to keep track of rounds.
- Customize the size by adjusting the number of starting chains.
