I originally posted this back in October of 2014, and have since gotten a better hold on working beanies, and have come with a better set pattern for each size. There are a lot of other great patterns out there, but this is my own, created over many hours and seatings, worked and settled with my own tension and gauge. Everyone crochets a little bit differently, but the great thing about acrylic yarn, and these beanies though is that the sizes will stretch to fit a range of sizes. Another great thing I’ve discovered is that with the I9/5.5mm hook, each round worked increases by 1” in size, so it’s easy to determine ahead of time if the crown size works out - Check after Round 3 to see if you are on the right path.

• 75-195 Yards of Worsted Weight Yarn - I used Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Yarn in Brown, Yellow, Sungold, Forest Green, Cream, Purple, and Cranberry.
