Crochet Textured Chunky Slouchy Beanie Pattern

Materials Needed:

• Chunky yarn (approximately 150 yards)
• Size J (6.00 mm) crochet hook
• Scissors
• Tapestry needle for weaving in ends

Gauge:

8 stitches and 6 rows = 4 inches in double crochet.

Instructions:

Start with the Brim:

1. Chain 10 with chunky yarn.
2. Row 1: Work 1 single crochet (sc) in the second chain from the hook; sc in the next 8 chains (9 sc total). Turn.
3. Row 2: Chain 1, work 1 back loop only (BLO) sc in each stitch across (9 sc total). Turn.
4. Repeat Row 2 until the brim measures 20 inches in length. Fasten off.
5. Join both ends of the brim together to form a circle using slip stitches.

Body of the Beanie:

1. Using the same hook and yarn, chain 1 and work around the top edge of the brim, making 1 double crochet (dc) in each stitch around (total stitches will vary based on previous brim size).
2. Join with a slip stitch to the first dc.
3. Row 1: Chain 2, dc in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch.
4. Row 2: Chain 2, *dc in the next stitch, dc in the next stitch (increasing by 1 stitch every other stitch); repeat from * around. Join with a slip stitch.
5. Continue this pattern, increasing gradually until the beanie reaches your desired size (typically about 10-12 inches in height).

Finish:

1. Once you reach your desired height, work a final row of regular dc without increasing. Join with a slip stitch and fasten off.
2. Weave in all ends using a tapestry needle.

Optional: Add a Pom Pom

Make a pom pom using leftover yarn and attach it to the top of your beanie for an adorable finish!
