Materials
- Yarn in two colors: base color and grid color
- 6 mm crochet hook or size suitable for your yarn
Starting Chain
- Use the base color to create a foundation chain
- Chain length determines the height of the beanie
- Do not use a multiple of four so the row does not end on a grid stitch
- Example size uses 46 chains for a slouchy beanie with a folded brim
Grid Pattern Rows 1 to 3
- Work half double crochet across the row
- Crochet 3 half double crochets in the base color
- On the third stitch, change to the grid color by pulling through the final loops
- Crochet 1 half double crochet in the grid color while carrying the base color inside the stitch
- Switch back to the base color on the final pull through
- Repeat the sequence of 3 base stitches and 1 grid stitch across the row
- Repeat the same pattern for rows 2 and 3, stacking grid stitches vertically
Horizontal Grid Row 4
- Cut and secure the base color after completing row 3
- Using only the grid color, crochet 1 half double crochet in every stitch across the row
Body Construction
- Reattach the base color
- Repeat the four row sequence consisting of three patterned rows and one solid grid row
- Continue until the rectangle is long enough to wrap comfortably around your head
- Example size uses a total of 48 rows
- End with a full grid color row
Assembly and Finishing
- Fold the rectangle with short ends aligned
- Slip stitch through both layers to seam the hat into a tube
