Pattern Steps:
Foundation Chain:
Create a Foundation Chain:
- Start by chaining two stitches (ch 2).
- Instead of continuing with a traditional chain, you're going to work into the first chain stitch.
- Find the back loop of the first chain stitch.
- Insert the hook into the back loop, yarn over (yo), and pull up a loop. You'll now have two loops on your hook.
- Yarn over, pull through one loop (creating your chain).
- Yarn over again and pull through both loops on the hook (completing a single crochet).
- This creates your single crochet foundation chain. Continue this process to reach the desired length that can wrap comfortably around the head.
Creating the Hat:
Build the Body of the Hat:
- Once your foundation chain is the correct length, you'll work in rows, creating the body of the hat.
- At the end of each row, turn the work, and chain two stitches (ch 2).
- Continue working in rows until the piece is long enough to cover the head comfortably.
- Optionally, you can add extra rows if you want a fold-up brim on your hat.
Finishing the Hat:
Finishing Touches:
- Leave a long tail at the end of your work.
- Fold the final crocheted piece in half.
- Sew the sides and the top using a tapestry needle and the long tail of yarn.
- After sewing, flip the hat inside out to hide the seam.
Final Product:
- Your cat beanie is now finished, with optional rows for a folded brim as desired.
