Beanie

I wanted to make a thin wool beanie for A to wear under a bicycle helmet, so I didn't want it very thick and I thought sock yarn would be great since it has wool in it.

I used info from these 2 websites.

  • Continue sequential increases until the crown diameter measures the size you need. (Refer to a chart for sizing.)
  • Once proper crown size is achieved, single crochet in each stitch until the desired length is achieved. (Refer to a chart for sizing.)
Note: I stopped single crocheting about 1.5” from desired length and added a Front Post/Back Post Double Crochet Ribbing for the bottom of the hat.
