Crochet Alpine Stitch Beanie Hat

Materials Needed:

Worsted weight yarn in three colors (optional more or just one)
4.5 mm crochet hook (for the brim)
5 mm crochet hook (for the body)

Pattern:

Brim:

Starting:

With the first yarn and smaller hook, make a slip knot and chain 10.

Row 1:

Skip the first chain. Insert the hook into the second chain and make one single crochet in each chain across. You should have 9 stitches.

Row 2 onwards:

Chain 1 and turn your work. Make one single crochet into the first stitch. For the next 7 stitches, work a single crochet into the back loop only. Make one regular single crochet into the last stitch.

Repeat:

Continue repeating Row 2 until the band’s length matches the desired circumference of your head.

Joining:

Fold the band in half and slip stitch the ends together to form a circle.

Body:

Round 1:

Using the larger hook, chain 3 (counts as the first double crochet). Make one double crochet in the top of each row around the brim. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the beginning chain.

Round 2:

Chain 3 (counts as the first double crochet). Make one front post double crochet around the next stitch, then a double crochet in the top of the next stitch. Repeat from to around and join.

Color Change:

If changing colors, cut the yarn and join the new color at the end of the round.

Repeat Pattern:

Establish Pattern:

For each subsequent round, repeat Round 2, alternating front post double crochets and regular double crochets as set in the previous rounds.

Multiple Rounds:

Continue until the hat reaches desired height before decreasing for the crown. Repeat the established pattern, changing colors if desired.

Crown Decreasing:

First Decrease Round:

Chain 1, make a decrease by single crocheting two stitches together across the round. Join with a slip stitch.

Further Decrease:

Continue with the decrease pattern by reducing the number of stitches per round until only a few remain.

Finishing:

Close the Top:

Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail. Thread a tapestry needle with the tail and weave through the remaining stitches. Pull to close.

Secure and Weave in Ends:

Secure the end and weave in all loose ends.

Pom-pom:

Attach a pom-pom if desired by fixing it to the top of the hat.

Final Touches:

Turn the beanie right side out when all weaving and securing are completed.
