If you love beanies…you’ll love this one! It’s a really quick hat to work up and with the little added texture is just nothing more than Handcrafted Elegance at its best! The best part is I made a scarf that matches the hat too! Yep…..it’s an accessories galore party with these two!

Pattern Instructions
Supplies:
1. Red Heart Soft or any worsted weight yarn. Specifications for the Red Heart Soft: 5 oz/141 grams 256 yds. Approximately 200-220 yards. Color way – Berry, Charcoal and White. (All 3 skeins were enough to make the hat and scarf).
2. Crochet Hook Size – I/ 5.50
3. Tapestry needle for weaving in the ends.
Gauge:
12 dc stitches and 6 Rows = approximately 4″
Abbreviations:
beg cl – beginning cluster (YO, insert hook in next stitch, yo, draw yarn through 2 st) 3 times in same st, yo, draw yarn through 4 loops on hook
ch – chain
cl – cluster stitch (YO, insert hook in next stitch, yo, draw yarn through 2 st) 4 times in same st, yo, draw yarn through 5 loops on hook
dc – double crochet
hdc – half double crochet
sc – single crochet
sl st – slip stitch
Notes: I initially made the hat using 60 st that gave me a 6.5″ flat circle measurement after round 5. Because I used hdc and sc stitches in the design, it “tightened” the hat somewhat and would actually fit a 20-21″ head circumference perfectly. I added another increase round (72 st) that gave me a 7″ flat circle and fit 22″ better. Depending on the yarn, either one could work. Red Heart Soft is just that….soft and tends to make a smaller stitch than even other Red Heart products like the Red Heart Super Saver or Red Heart with Love.
