Stripe Crochet Beanie Cap Hat

A video tutorial on how to make a crochet hat. The art of crochet by Teresa.

This is going to be a beanie showing stripes and it has a flatter top. You can also do this beanie with the spiral if you are making one color. Just remember to use a yarn marker during the increase round so you know where to do the increases. I have written separate instructions for the Spiral Flat Top Beanie.

Skill Level: Easy Beginner

Round 1: CH 1, 10 SC in your magic circle or chain. Join by adding the new color through your first SC and last SC. (10 SC Total)

Round 2: CH 1, 2 SC in each ST around. Join by adding the new color through your first SC and last SC. (20 SC Total)

Round 3: Ch 1, *1 SC in ea of the next 2 St's, 2 SC in the next St, repeat from *, you will be increase every 3 stitches for a total of 27 stitches. Join by adding the new color through your first SC and last SC. (27 SC total)

Round 4: Ch 1, 1 SC in each ST around, Join by adding the new color through your first SC and last SC. (27 SC total)

Round 10-24: You will continue alternating color for the remaining length of your cap. (55 single crochet total)

You may wind up with a seam which is one of the downfalls of joining rounds.

Making the Cap Smaller:

You can use an F, G or H hook without altering the pattern.
Stop increasing after round 7 and continue on to form the sides of the cap

Making the Cap Larger:

You can use a larger crochet hook

You can make this cap larger by adding another increase round. At round 10, you will do 1 SC in ea of the next 5 SC, 2 SC in the next. (Approximately 65 single crochet total). Round 11-24 will be 1 SC in each stitch around. You can add more stitches or less stitches for a custom fit.

@GreyWolfEyes1222 I have internal memory around 30 GB. My other cameras have memory sticks, which I have several 16 and 32 GB sticks. I edit with Sony Vegas Pro.

i like your technique but i cant see what your doing because your fingers are in the way :(

[tjw1963]

@BamItzShellie You need to become familiar with the stitches before working on this hat. This tutorial was not made to teach stitches so you should be familiar with the basic stitches prior to attempting this cap.

[merievfu1]

Thank you, thank you! I really appreciate your tutorials - this hat is awesome and you have shed light on an otherwise impossible thing for me to learn out of my book alone. I'm off to create!
