Crochet Dimond Granny Stitch Beanie Hat

Materials Needed:

Yarn: Category 3 (e.g., Lita Baby)
Hooks: 3 mm for the brim, 4 mm for the body

Pattern Overview:

Brim:

Start with a slip knot using the 3 mm hook.
Chain 12 (adjust the number of chains for the desired brim height).
Starting from the second chain from the hook, single crochet in each chain until the end (11 stitches total).
For the next row, chain 1, turn your work, and single crochet in the back loop only of each stitch across. For a neater edge, single crochet in both loops of the first and last stitch.
Repeat this process for a total of 60 rows (or more for a larger size, ensuring the row count is a multiple of 3).

Join the short ends of the brim with slip stitches to form a tube.

Body:

Switch to the 4 mm hook. Begin with a chain 1 and single crochet in the joining space.
Work single crochets at the end of each row around the top of the brim (60 stitches total).
For round two, start with three double crochets in the same stitch, changing yarns as needed for color work. Skip two stitches between clusters.
Continue the pattern, with three double crochet clusters separated by skipping two stitches. Change colors as outlined in the instructions to create the diamond pattern.

Repeat these rounds (as described in detail in your provided text), increasing the number of rounds until the hat reaches the desired height.

Decreasing (For Closing the Hat):

After completing the body height, start decreasing by working two double crochets in each space (instead of three), progressively decreasing to one double crochet in each space to close the hat.

Finishing:

Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail. Use a tapestry needle to run this tail through the last round's stitches. Pull tight to close the hole at the top of the hat.
Secure the yarn and weave in the ends.
Optionally, attach a pom-pom to the top of the hat for decoration.
