Materials You Will Need

Yarn
Crochet hook
Scissors
Yarn needle

Choosing Yarn

The type of yarn you choose will depend on the look and feel you want for your beanie or hat. For example, if you want a soft and cozy beanie, you might choose a yarn made from wool or alpaca.

If you want a more durable beanie or hat, you might choose a yarn made from acrylic or cotton.

Choosing a Crochet Hook

The size of the crochet hook you choose will depend on the weight of the yarn you are using. For example, if you are using a worsted weight yarn, you will need a size H or I crochet hook.

If you are using a DK weight yarn, you will need a size G or H crochet hook.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Create a slip knot. To create a slip knot, make a loop with the yarn and place it on the crochet hook. Hold the tail of the yarn with your left hand and use your right hand to pull the hook through the loop. Tighten the knot to secure it.
Chain 4. To chain, hold the hook in your right hand and the yarn in your left hand. Wrap the yarn around the hook from back to front and pull it through the loop on the hook. Repeat this process 3 more times to create a chain of 4.
Single crochet in the second chain from the hook. To single crochet, insert the hook into the second chain from the hook and wrap the yarn around the hook from back to front. Pull the hook through the chain and wrap the yarn around the hook again. Pull the yarn through the two loops on the hook to complete the single crochet stitch.
Single crochet in each of the remaining chains. Repeat step 3 until you have single crocheted in each of the remaining chains.
Join the round with a slip stitch. To join the round, insert the hook into the first single crochet stitch and wrap the yarn around the hook from back to front. Pull the hook through the stitch and wrap the yarn around the hook again. Pull the yarn through the two loops on the hook to complete the slip stitch.
Chain 1. To chain 1, wrap the yarn around the hook from back to front and pull it through the loop on the hook.
Half double crochet in each stitch around. To half double crochet, insert the hook into the next stitch and wrap the yarn around the hook from back to front. Pull the hook through the stitch and wrap the yarn around the hook again. Pull the yarn through the first two loops on the hook. Wrap the yarn around the hook again and pull it through the remaining two loops on the hook to complete the half double crochet stitch.
Repeat steps 6 and 7 until the beanie or hat reaches the desired size.
Fasten off. To fasten off, cut the yarn leaving a tail of about 6 inches. Thread the tail through the last stitch on the hook and pull it tight to secure it.

Tips and Tricks

To make a larger beanie or hat, simply add more rows of half double crochet stitches.
To make a smaller beanie or hat, simply decrease the number of rows of half double crochet stitches.
To add a brim to your beanie or hat, simply crochet a few rows of single crochet stitches around the bottom edge.
To add a pom-pom to your beanie or hat, simply make a small ball of yarn and tie it to the top of the hat.
