Crochet Mohair Beanie

Materials:

• Yarn: Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton (Worsted weight, 100% cotton) and Drops Alpaca Silk (Worsted weight, the actual material used is alpaca silk but referred to as mohair for its texture).
• Hook: 4 mm crochet hook.
• Additional: Scissors, tapestry needle.

Pattern:

Foundation and Row 1:

• Start with a slip knot and chain 43.
• Turn your chain and work into the back bumps of the chain.
• Single Crochet (SC) into the second chain from the hook; continue with SC for a total of 34 stitches.
• Slip Stitch (SS) in the next chain.
• Leave the remaining chains unworked.

Row 2:

• Turn your work, do not chain 1.
• SC right back into the SS and down the row you just created, using the back loops only for SC.

Forming the Pattern:

• Each following row will start with a turn, then SC in back loops only.
• The end of each row will extend one stitch into the unworked foundation chain before ending with a SS. This creates a gradual increase along one side.

Follow this pattern:

Row 3:

• 36 SC + SS.

Row 4:

• Work back.

After Row 5:

• 38 SC + SS.

Row 6:

• Work back.

Row 7:

• 40 SC + SS.

For Row 8:

• Work back.

Row 9:

• 42 SC + SS.

Row 10:

• Work back, completing the pattern repeat.
• Continue repeating these steps, minus the initial chain, until the piece is long enough to wrap around your head.
• The original instruction was to repeat this pattern seven times.

Closing the Hat:

• After the final row, cut a long tail for sewing.
• Sew the seam together matching the outside loops (right loop of right side to the left loop of left side).
• Close the top of the hat by running the yarn through the last row's stitches and pulling tight.
• Weave in all ends.

Finishing Touches:

• Turn the hat right-side out, fold the brim to your liking, and wear it proudly!
• Remember, the creator emphasized working with both yarns together, keeping the tension even throughout.
• Also, it was noted the unique technique used in this hat creates a nicely tapered and fitting shape that's quite simple once you get the hang of it.
• The total time estimated to make the beanie is about four hours.
