How to Crochet a Summer Beanie Pattern:
Yarn: 4 Medium, Big Twist Value Brand, Mustard
Crochet Hook: F / 5 / 3.75MM
*NOTE: This video has a precursor video: How to Crochet a Beanie Brim: https://youtu.be/V2zw-4mWR8E
Begin by crocheting a brim (using the above video tutorial as your guide) that is 3 st deep and roughly 18’’ wide. Join the two short edges of your brim together with SL st, turn it inside out, and divide the brim into four equal parts (all shown in precursor video).
Row 1: CH 1, then place 88 SC in the available loops along the edge of the brim (22 SC st in each of the four sections). SL st in the top of the 1st SC st to join.
Row 2: CH 3, skip 3 st, then place 1 TR in the 4th st from crochet hook. *CH 3 again, then yarn over twice and place the crochet hook back under the same st where you just worked. Yarn over and draw up through the st, then yarn over and drop 2 loops at a time until only 2 loops remain on your crochet hook. Yarn over twice, skip 3 st, then insert your crochet hook under the 4th st. Yarn over and draw up through the st, then yarn over and drop 2 loops at a time until only 3 loops remain on your crochet hook. Yarn over and drop all 3 loops.* Repeat * around the row. Join the last and first sections by SL st into the top of the 1st TR after placing the last CH 3.
Row 3: CH 3, then place 1 TR under the next PEAK (not in the top portion of the st, but under the area where the peak is formed). *CH 3, yarn over twice, insert the crochet hook under the next peak, yarn over and draw up under the peak, then yarn over and drop 2 loops at a time until 2 loops remain on your crochet hook. Yarn over twice and insert the crochet hook under the next peak. Draw up under the peak, then yarn over and drop 2 loops at a time until only 3 loops remain on your crochet hook. Then yarn over and drop all 3 loops.* Repeat until you get to the end of the row. Join the last and first sections by SL st into the top of the 1st TR after placing the last CH 3.
Rows 4 – 12: Repeat Row 3.
To cinch the top of the beanie, *insert the crochet hook under the st that is formed at the top of your next peak. Yarn over and draw up through the st. Repeat that process until you’ve worked under 5 peaks (you should have 6 loops on your crochet hook), then draw the 5th peak’s loop under the remaining loops on the crochet hook.* Repeat * around the row. When you get close to the end of the row, work under any remaining peaks that you have left, then insert your crochet hook in a st on the opposite side of the small circle and draw the loop under all the remaining loops on your crochet hook.
Cut and tie off yarn.
