Spiced Mulberry Brimmed Beanie

The Spiced Mulberry Brimmed Beanie is the final and fourth hat in my fall collection of crochet fold up brim beanies (if you missed the first three you can find them HERE and HERE and HERE). Cozy, soft and textured, each fold up brim 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. For this version I went with a cluster v-stitch for a very feminine, lacy vibe.

The Yarn for This Pattern

This post contains affiliate links, which means I may receive compensation (at no additional cost to you) if you make a purchase using these links.

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 “Grape” tone made me think of the deep, rich tones of warm, spicy, fruity concoctions people cook up only in the cold winter months!

Materials:

Size 4 Yarn in two colors (I used Red Heart Soft in Grape 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
(sl st) slip stitch
(sc) single crochet
(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.

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 each of the next 11 stitches. 2 sc in the next stitch. *Sc in each of the next 11 stitches. 2 sc in the next stitch.* Repeat from * to * 4 more times. Join with a sl st to the top of the first sc. (78)

Round 18: Ch 2. Dc in the same stitch. Skip next 5 stitches. *(2 dc, ch 3, 2 dc) in the next stitch. Skip next 5 stitches.* Repeat from * to * around. When you get to the end of the row, instead of skipping the last 5 stitches of the row and joining, just skip 4 stitches. Put 2 dc in the last stitch of the row. Join with a sl st to the first dc of the row (see photo below). (12 dc clusters, plus the group of dc stitches at the join)

Round 19: Ch 2. Dc in the same stitch. (2 dc, ch 3, 2 dc) in the chain 3 space (see photo below). Continue this repeat (2 dc, ch 3, 2 dc) in each chain 3 space around. After the last chain 3 space repeat is complete, 2 dc in the last stitch of the row. Join with a sl st to the first dc of the row. (12 dc clusters, plus the group of dc stitches at the join)

Rounds 20 – 24: Repeat Round 19.

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. Flip the band so that it is folded up like a brim.

Add a pom pom.
