Crochet Diamond Stitch Beanie Hat

Materials Needed:

Medium-weight yarn (Aran/Worsted) in three colors
Crochet hooks: 4mm and 5.5mm
Tapestry needle for weaving in ends
Optional: Pom pom for decoration

Gauge:

Ensure your stitches match the gauge to keep sizing accurate. It's always best to create a gauge sample.

Brim Pattern

Foundation Row:

With the 4mm hook, create a slip knot and chain two.

Foundation Double Crochets:

Yarn over, insert the hook into the first chain, pull through to create three loops, yarn over and pull through one loop, yarn over and pull through two loops, yarn over and pull through two loops again. This completes one foundation double crochet.
Continue creating foundation double crochets in the chain below the previous double crochet until you reach the desired circumference, ensuring the total number of stitches is a multiple of four (e.g., 64 stitches for child size).
Join the foundation row with a slip stitch to form a circular brim.

Body

Switch to 5.5mm Hook:

Change to a larger hook after the brim.

Round 1:

Start with two chains (does not count as a stitch), followed by a double crochet into each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch.

Round 2 Diamond Setup Row:

Chain one, make a front post triple crochet skipping the directly below stitch and working around the next stitch, then work one single crochet in each of the next three stitches. Repeat from to around. Join with a slip stitch.

Creating Diamonds:

Following the same pattern as Round 2, adjust the positioning of your front post triple crochets to start forming diamond shapes across subsequent rows. Continue repeating these rounds, changing colors as desired until the hat body reaches just below the crown of the head.

Crown Decrease

Begin decrease rounds to close the top of the hat. Gradually decrease the number of stitches per row by turning two stitches into one at regular intervals until only a few stitches remain.

Final Decrease Rounds:

When only a small hole remains at the top, Use yarn to run through all the stitches remaining, pull tight and secure.
Weave in ends neatly on the inside of the hat.
