Crochet Child Size Halloween Pumpkin Beanie Pattern:
Crochet Hook: F / 5 / 3.75MM
Yarn: 4 Medium ~ Big Twist Value brand, Burnt Orange
Magic Circle
Row 1: 12 DC inside MC.
Row 2: 1 DC + 1 FRONT POST st in every st in the row (following continuous loop pattern, where we won’t be starting and stopping each row, but instead it will act as more of a spiral).
Row 3: *1 DC in st 1, 1 DC + 1 FRONT POST st in st 2.* Repeat * around the row (24 total st at end of row).
Row 4: *1 DC in st 1 – 2, 1 DC + 1 FRONT POST st in st 3.* Repeat * around the row (36 total st at end of row).
Row 5: *1 DC in st 1 – 3, 1 DC + 1 FRONT POST st in st 4.* Repeat * around the row (48 total st at end of row).
Row 6: *1 DC in st 1 – 4, 1 DC + 1 FRONT POST st in st 5.* Repeat * around the row (60 total st at end of row).
Row 7: *1 DC in st 1 – 5, 1 DC + 1 FRONT POST st in st 6.* Repeat * around the row (72 total st at end of row).
Row 8: *1 DC in st 1 – 6, 1 DC + 1 FRONT POST st in st 7.* Repeat * around the row (84 total st at end of row).
Rows 9 – 15: Follow like stitches, placing 1 DC in each of the previous row’s DC stitches, and 1 FRONT POST st in each of the previous row’s FRONT POST stitches. Ensure that you are not adding a DC st to your FRONT POST st, as this will cause the beanie to continue to increase.
Row 16: *1 DC in st 1 – 4, DC 2together in st 5 & 6, 1 FRONT POST st in st 7.* Repeat * around the row (72 total st at end of row).
Row 17: *1 DC in st 1 – 3, DC 2together in st 4 & 5, 1 FRONT POST st in st 6.* Repeat * around the row (60 total st at end of row).
