Basic Stitches and Abbreviations US Terms:

Pattern Notes:
- This beanie is made from bottom to top. Number chains will be the circumference of this beanie, so measure the widest part of your head and make the chain of the same length.
- Number of rows will be the height of this beanie.
- This beanie is worked up as a rectangle shape. Once finished, fold the rectangle and sew the open long side.
- Gather one side of the rectangular tube and close it to make the top.
Pattern:
It’s a very simple pattern of 1 row repeat.
Double crochet in the back loop of the previous row.
Ch 60
Row 1: dc in 4th chain from the beginning. Dc in each chain. (3 chains at the end counts as 1 dc) total 57 dc. at the end of row 1
Row 2: ch3, turn, dc in back loop only in all the chains.
Row 3 -11 : repeat row 2. Total 11 rows of gray color
Row 11-17: repeat row 2 with white color
I made a total of 17 rows to get my desired height of 9 inches.
Do not cut the yarn. You can use the same yarn to sew the sides. Fold the rectangle and sew the longest open side using sl st.
Gather the top at the white end and sew using a running stitch at the edge of the rectangle. Pull one end of the yarn to bring the edge together. Tie the yarn tightly and weave the end.
Finish the beanie by sewing a big pom pom at the top to give it a gorgeous look.
Pom Pom:
You can make a white or gray pom pom using the same yarn you used for the beanie.
There are various ways of making pom pom, but I like to use the pompom maker I got from Michaels. It’s easy to use and you don’t waste any yarn while cutting the edges to make it even.
You can also use a faux fur pom pom if you like.
