Frosty Mornings Brimmed Beanie

The Frosty Mornings Brimmed Beanie is the third of four hats in my fall collection of crochet fold up brim beanies (if you missed the first two you can find them 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 fish net feel, created with a simple chain space repeat.

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 “Mid Blue” tone made me think of the brisk chill of a fall morning. This warm hat would be perfect for keeping cozy on a cold morning!

Materials:

Size 4 Yarn in two colors (I used Red Heart Soft in Mid Blue 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.

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 stitch around. (72)

Round 18: *Ch 5. Sk 2. Sc in next stitch.* Repeat from * to * until the end of the round. After the last ch 5, do not join, but sc into the first ch 5 space of the round.

For this row and the next 5 rows you will crochet “in the round”, which means you don’t end your rows by joining, but continue crocheting the same repeat around in a spiral until you reach the height you want. It may help to mark the last ch 5 of the row so that you don’t lose track of where it ends.

Round 19 – 23: *Ch 5. Sc into the next ch 5 space.* Repeat from * to *, crocheting in the round, until the end of round 23 (or 6 rows of chains). Sc into the first ch 5 space of the current row.

Round 24: *Ch 2. Sc in the next Ch 5 space.* Repeat from * to * around. After putting a sc in the last ch 5 of the previous row, ch 2 and join with a sl st to the sc at the beginning of the row. (72).

Round 25: Ch 1. Sc in the same stitch. 2 sc in the chain space. *Sc in the next stitch. 2 sc in the chain space.* Repeat to the end of the round. Join with a sl st to the first sc. (72)

Finish off and leave a long tail. 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. Position the brim so that the design is even and the top of the brim sits at about row 8 of the main hat.

Use a yarn needle and the long tail to sew the top sc row to the main portion of the hat. Make sure you keep the brim lined up with row 8. Tie off and weave in ends.

Add a pom pom.
