Autumn Jaunt Brimmed Beanie

The Autumn Jaunt Brimmed Beanie is the second of four hats in my fall collection of crochet brimmed beanies (if you missed the first one you can find it HERE). 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 alternating double crochet and chain spaces for a bit of a filet effect 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 “Dark Leaf” green hue made me think of the deep green of pine trees. I could imagine wearing this cozy beanie on a nice crisp walk through the woods on a cool fall day!

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

Gauge:

4” x 4” = 14 dc x 9 rows

Finished size (teen/adult small): 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
(sc) single crochet
(sl st) slip stitch
(dc) double crochet

Pattern Notes:

Beginning chain of each round does not count as a stitch (unless otherwise noted).

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. Conversely, if your hat is too tall, you can remove some rows.

At the end of row 16, 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 (you can turn the hat inside out if that makes it easier to crochet). *Sc in the next 17 stitches. 2 sc in the next st.* Repeat from * to * 3 more times. Join with a sl st to the first sc. (76)

Round 18: Ch 2 (counts as a stitch). Dc in next stitch. Ch 2. *Skip the next 2 stitches. Dc in the next 2 stitches. Ch 2. * Repeat from * to * around. Join with a sl st to the top of the dc at the beginning of the row. (76).

Round 19: Ch 2 (counts as a stitch). Dc in the chain space. Ch 2. *Skip next 2 stitches (next chain stitch and a dc). Dc in the next stitch (the next dc). Dc in the first chain of the chain space (don’t crochet completely around the whole chain, but just put the hook through 2 loops of the chain so that your stitch won’t slip around). Ch 2.* Repeat from * to * around. (see photo for visual of this repeat) Join with a sl st to the top of the dc at the beginning of the row. (76)

Round 20-26: Repeat Round 19. (76)

Round 27: Ch 1. Sc in the same stitch. Sc in each stitch around (this will be one sc in the top of each dc from the previous row and 2 sc in each chain space. No need to only grab two loops in the chains of the chain space this time. Go ahead and just sc around the whole chain). Join with a sl st to the first sc. (76). Finish off and weave in ends.

If you turned your hat inside out at row 17, turn work so that the right side of the dc section of the beanie is facing out. Fold the brim portion of the beanie up and over the dc section at row 17.

Add a pom pom.
