Toasted Hazelnut Brimmed Beanie

The Toasted Hazelnut Brimmed Beanie is the first of four hats in my fall collection of crochet brimmed beanies. Cozy, soft and textured, each crochet brimmed beanie pattern has a little bit of a different style. Whether feminine or angular, everyone will have a different favorite, but I hope you love them all!

Origin of the Pattern

For the last few years I have sold crocheted hats at craft fairs during the holiday months. I noticed that a lot of people picked up my hats and turned up the brim, even if it was not necessarily a hat “designed” to do that. It seemed like a natural instinct for a lot of people. But I didn’t see a lot of hat patterns designed with a fold up brim (besides the basic ribbed beanie). So I decided to make one up! I liked the idea of something a little different… a little textured, a little see through. It was fun to decide what kind of stitches would look good. I landed on the bean stitch for some “bobbly” texture on this one.

The Yarn For This Pattern

Red Heart Soft is one of my top fave yarns. It is wonderfully soft and comfy to work with. It also has a wide variety of deep rich colors to choose from. I had a hard time just picking a few for fall! The “toast” color seemed like the perfect color to start with. Crisp leaves, cozy sweaters and creamy coffee vibes here I come!

Add this crochet brimmed beanie pattern to your Ravelry favorites HERE.

Materials:
Size 4 Yarn in two colors (I used Red Heart Soft in Toast and Off White)
US J/6 mm Crochet Hook
Yarn Needle
Scissors

Gauge:

4” x 4” = 14 dc x 9 rows

Finished size: 7.5” tall (not including pom pom), band circumference: 20”

I tend to crochet tightly. So be sure to check your gauge and if you are crocheting more loosely you can move to a smaller hook (or larger if you crochet even more tightly).

Stitches Used:
(ch) chain
(sl st) slip stitch
(sc) single crochet
(dc) double crochet
bean stitch

How to crochet the Bean Stitch:

Insert hook into the stitch. Yo and pull through the stitch. You should have 2 loops on your hook. Yo and insert hook into the same stitch. Yo and pull through. You should have 4 loops on your hook. Yo and insert hook into the same stitch again. Yo and pull through. You should have 6 loops on your hook. Yo and pull through all 6 loops on the hook. Complete a chain 1 to finish the bean stitch.

Pattern Notes:

Beginning chain of each round does not count as a stitch.

When the pattern calls for a bean stitch to be completed, this includes the final step of a ch 1 to finish it. When there is instruction to ch 1 immediately after the bean stitch, this is another chain in addition to the finishing chain of the bean stitch.

I tend to crochet tightly. So be sure to check your gauge and if you are crocheting more loosely you can move to a smaller hook (or larger if you crochet even more tightly).

Pattern:

Chain 5. Join to the first chain with a sl st to make a circle.

(Note, if you like to use a magic circle technique to start a project in the round, you can substitute that for this step)

Round 1: Ch 2. Dc 12 in the circle. Join with a sl st to the first dc of the round. (12)

Round 2: Ch 2. 2 dc in the same stitch and in each stitch around. Join with a sl st to the first dc of the round. (24)

Round 3: Ch 2. Dc in the same stitch. 2 dc in the next stitch. *1 dc in the next stitch. 2 dc in the next stitch.* Repeat from * to * until the end of the round. Join with a sl st to the first dc of the round. (36)

Round 4: Ch 2. Dc in the same stitch. Dc in the next stitch. 2 dc in the next stitch. *1 dc in each of the next 2 stitches. 2 dc in the next stitch.* Repeat from * to * until the end of the round. Join with a sl st to the first dc of the round. (48)

Round 5: Ch 2. Dc in the same stitch. 1 dc in each of the next 2 stitches. 2 dc in the next stitch. *1 dc in each of the next 3 stitches. 2 dc in the next stitch.* Repeat from * to * until the end of the round. Join with a sl st to the first dc of the round. (60)

Round 6: Ch 2. Dc in the same stitch. 1 dc in each of the next 8 stitches. 2 dc in the next stitch. *1 dc in each of the next 9 stitches. 2 dc in the next stitch.” Repeat from * to * until the end of the round. Join with a sl st to the first dc of the round. (66)

Round 7: Ch 2. Dc in the same stitch. 1 dc in each of the next 9 stitches. 2 dc in the next stitch. *1 dc in each of the next 10 stitches. 2 dc in the next stitch.* Repeat from * to * until the end of the round. Join with a sl st to the first dc of the round. (72)

Round 8: Ch 2. Dc in the same stitch and in each stitch around. Join with a sl st to the first dc of the round (72)

Round 9-16: Repeat round 8. (72)

Note: Row 16 will be the last row that adds height to your hat. The next steps will begin the process of adding the brimmed section to the hat. So, if you would prefer your hat a little taller than it is at this point, this is where you could add additional repeats of Round 8 to add more height. At the end of row 16 (or more if you add additional rows for height), use your favorite color change method to switch to your second color.

Round 17: Ch 1 and turn your work so that you will crochet in the opposite direction. *Sc in the next 23 stitches. 2 sc in the next stitch.* Repeat from * to * until the end of the round. Join with a sl st to the first sc of the round. (75)

Round 18: Ch 2. Bean stitch in the same stitch. Ch 1. Skip the next 2 stitches. *Bean stitch in the next stitch. Ch 1. Skip the next 2 stitches.* Repeat from * to * until the end of the round. Join with a sl st to the ch 2 at the beginning of the round (see photo at below for where to join). (25 bean stitches).

Round 19: Ch 1. Sc in the top of the bean stitch. 2 sc in the chain space. *Sc in the top of the next bean stitch. 2 sc in the chain space.* Repeat from * to * until the end of the round. Join with a sl st to the first sc of the round. (75)

Round 20-29: Repeat rounds 18 and 19 alternately, ending with a repeat of round 19. Finish off and weave in ends.

Turn work so that the right side of the dc section of the beanie is facing out. Fold the bean stitch portion of the beanie up and over the dc section at row 17. Add a pom pom!
