The beanie is made up of three main parts: the brim, the straight part, and the crown. By following these step-by-step instructions, you will be able to create your own warm and comfortable beanie. So grab your crochet hook and let's get started!

Materials Needed

Before we begin, let's Gather all the materials we will need for this project.

1. 4.5 millimeter crochet hook
2. Ball of yarn
3. Sewing needle

Make sure to choose a yarn that is suitable for the size of crochet hook you are using. The yarn should also be comfortable to wear and appropriate for the weather you will be wearing the beanie in.

Crocheting the Brim

The first part of the beanie that we will crochet is the brim. The brim will provide structure and Shape to the beanie.

1. Make a chain of four stitches.
2. Yarn over the hook and insert it into the first chain stitch.
3. Pull up a loop and pull through the first loop.
4. Pull through two loops twice to complete the stitch.
5. Continue crocheting in this manner until you have completed the first round. There should be a total of 80 stitches in the round.
6. The brim should be elastic and stretchy, allowing it to fit comfortably on the head.

Crocheting the Straight Part

After completing the brim, we will move on to crocheting the straight part of the beanie.

1. Make a chain and turn the work.
2. Work on the back side of the project and make a row of half double crochet stitches.
3. Add additional stitches as needed to achieve the desired width of the beanie.
4. Continue crocheting in this manner for as many rows as needed to reach the desired length of the straight part. The pattern consists of two stitches: back post single crochet and front post double crochet. Repeat these stitches until the desired length is achieved.

Crocheting the Crown

Once the straight part is complete, we will crochet the crown of the beanie. The crown adds Height to the beanie and gives it a rounded shape.

1. Make a chain to begin the first round of the crown.
2. Work in the same manner as before, alternating between half double crochet and front post double crochet stitches. Continue working in this pattern until the desired number of rounds is achieved.
3. Be mindful of any holes that may appear during the crown crocheting process. These holes can be sewn up using a sewing needle or a crochet hook.

Removing the Hole

If any holes appear during the crocheting process, they can be easily removed.

1. Use a sewing needle or crochet hook to carefully sew up the hole.
2. Make sure to securely sew the hole on the back side of the project to hide any visible stitching.
3. Alternatively, you can crochet one more round using the same pattern to close up the hole.

Finishing Touches

Once all the crocheting is complete, it's time to add any final touches to the beanie.

1. Weave in any loose ends of yarn using a sewing needle.
2. Trim any excess yarn if necessary.

Styling and Wearing the Beanie

The beanie is now ready to be styled and worn.

1. Choose whether you prefer the front or back side of the beanie to be visible when wearing it.
2. Play around with the positioning of the beanie on your head to find the most comfortable and stylish fit.
3. Feel free to add a pom-pom or any other embellishments to personalize your beanie.
