Slowpoke Beanie (knit)

By Janet Carrillo "damn it Janet, let's crochet!"
    Simple but yet very stylish; for boys and girls of all ages. You can comfortably wear it during any season, depending on the yarn you used and the weather, of course. This is an easy-to-knit beanie if you know the basics: knit, purl, and k2tog.

SIZE/MEASUREMENTS
Child (6yrs - 10yrs) [19" to 20" head circumference]
Teen/Small Adult [20" to 21" head circumference]
Adult (men) [21" to 23" head circumference]

MATERIALS
*Worsted Weight Yarn: salmon & small amounts of cream, white, brown, & a different shade of pink for the mouth
*DPN's or Circular Needles: 4.5mm & 5.0mm
*Stitch Marker to mark your rounds
*Tapestry Needle

GAUGE
Using 5.0mm needles...  4.5 stitches x  6 rows = 1"
Don't forget to check your gauge.

PATTERN NOTES
  This pattern can either be knitted when making the hat or duplicate stitched on afterward; the choice is yours. Here's a great video on how to duplicate stitch: HERE.
With a lighter shade of pink for the mouth.

STARTING the BEANIE
CO 80 (90, 90) sts on 4.5mm needles with main color yarn.
Place a marker and join in the round, being careful not to twist the stitches.
Do ribbing (k1, p1) for 1 inch (approx. 6 rounds).
Change to larger needles and proceed knitting for 4 (4.5, 5) inches. This will give you approx. 27 (32, 37) rounds. Please follow the graph to determine which rows to apply the color changes.

SHAPING the CROWN
  Rnd 1: k8, k2tog around
  Rnd 2 and all even rounds: knit around
  Rnd 3: k7, k2tog around
  Rnd 5: k6, k2tog around
  Rnd 7: k5, k2tog around
  Rnd 9: k4, k2tog around
  Rnd 11: k3, k2tog around
  Rnd 13: k2, k2tog around
  Rnd 15: k1, k2tog around
  Rnd 17: k2tog around
Leave a tail (up to 8"). You will use a tapestry needle to thread the tail through the last remaining stitches on your needle. After removing the needles from the stitches, pull tightly to close the top hole. Lastly, hide the tail inside and weave it in.


NOTE: The ears are worked all in one piece and then folded in half.
EARS starting with salmon; make 2
CO 4 stitches with the 5.0mm needles
  Row 1: kfb, k2, kfb (6sts)
  Row 2: kfb, p4, kfb (8sts)
  Row 3: kfb, k6, kfb (10sts)
  Row 4: kfb, p8, kfb (12sts)
  Row 5: kfb, k10, kfb (14sts)

  Row 24: p2tog, p4, p2tog (6sts)
  Row 25: k2tog, k2, k2tog (4sts)
Cast off all stitches. Weave in the ends. Fold the ear in half along row 13. Using the 3.75mm (F) crochet hook, single crochet along the entire ear to close it off. F/O, weave in all ends. Another method you can use if you're not comfortable with crocheting, use a tapestry needle and whip stitch along the entire ear to close it off.

ASSEMBLE
     I recommend pinning the pieces before sewing them to make sure you have them in the position you like best before sewing.
     EARS...lay out the beanie flat and find the position you like best.

Easy Crochet Knit-Like Beanie

By Janet Carrillo "damn it Janet, let's crochet!
     Slouchy beanies are really trendy among teenagers, as well as adults. I truly hope that this beanie grabs your attention and gets a top place in your collection of beanies. You can comfortably wear it during any season depending on the yarn you used and the weather, of course.

SIZE/MEASUREMENTS
This beanie fits someone with a head circumference of...
21" to 23" (adult/women) and
22" to 24" (adult/male).
...but can vary based on yarn and hook size.

MATERIALS
*Crochet hook size: 3.5mm (E) & 5.0mm (H)
*Worsted Weight Yarn: color of choice (155yds)
*Tapestry Needle

PATTERN NOTES - must-read...
 Numbers in ( ) at the end of each round/row indicate the total number of stitches.
 The chain, in the beginning, does NOT count as one stitch unless stated otherwise.
Easily Customizable... chain any number of chains + 2.
  If you want to make your beanie more slouchy, add more chains to your foundation chain or less for a non-slouchy look.
  To fit a child, simply do less rows and chains but always end with a row 2.

How to crochet on the 3rd loop of the hdc stitch?
As you have seen in the picture below, theirs a “third” loop in the half double crochet stitch. In addition, the two main loops (the V on the top of each stitch which is referred to as the front loop and back loop). By crocheting into the third loop, you will be pushing the top V (the front and back loops) forward. This will make it look a lot like knitting. At least on the right side of your project.

BEANIE
  Row 1 [RS]: ch40, hdc in 3rd ch from hook and in the next 32 chs, sc in next ch, sl st in next 4 chs, ch1, turn (38)
  Row 2 [WS]: front loops for the following 5 sts, sl st in next 4 chs, sc in next st, 3rd loops for the rest of the row, hdc in each st across, ch2, turn (38)
  Row 3 [RS]: back loops only for this row hdc in next 32 sts, sc in next st, sl st in next 4 sts, ch1, turn (38)
Repeat row 2 and 3 until you reach the desired width. Finished the beanie with a row 2. The beanie shown here consists of 46 rows.
Do NOT finish off.

Slip stitch the edges together, we will be going through the back loop from the piece on your hook and both loops of the foundation chains.

After you have slip stitch the side up, we will sc2tog around the top using a 3.5mm (E) hook and only going through every other stitch.
F/O, leave a long tail. Weave the yarn back and forth through stitches around top. Pull tight to cinch the opening closed. Weave in the ends.

Would you like to make the matching scarf?
