Basic DC Beanie

There have been a lot of requests for my basic dc beanie pattern. This pattern is the one I use for most of my hats. The seam is almost invisible and straight. This pattern does not include earflaps. It's just a basic beanie. Here is the pdf, printable version of the pattern. Otherwise, you can find it below.

Supplies:

Hook: Teen/Adult H/8- 5.0 mm

Child: G/6-4.25 mm.

Yarn: Worsted weight yarn, scissors, yarn needle, fiberfill or yarn scraps.

Abbreviations:

ch = chain                                                    

hdc = half double crochet

rnd = round 

dc = double crochet                                    

st = stitch     

sp = space                             

slst = slip stitch                                           

Special Instructions:

Always join rounds in first dc of round, not ch 2. This will make the seam harder to see when the hat is completed. Ch never counts as st.

Beanie:

Rnd 1: Chain 4, 12 dc in 4th ch from hook, join w/ slst in first dc, Ch 2 

Rnd 2: 2 dc in same sp as ch 2 and each st around, join w/ slst in first dc, ch 2 

Rnd 3: dc in same sp as ch2, 2 dc in next st, *dc in next st, 2 dc in next st* repeat from *to* around, join w/ slst in first dc, ch 2.

Rnd 4: dc in same sp as ch2, dc in next st, 2 dc in next st, *dc in next 2 sts, 2 dc in next st* repeat * to* around, join w/ slst in first dc, ch 2.

Rnd 5: dc in same sp as ch2, dc in next 2 st, 2 dc in next st, *dc in next 3 st, 2dc in next st* repeat *to* around, join w/ slst in first dc, ch 2. 

Rnd 6-13: dc in same sp as ch 2, dc in each st around, join w/ slst in first dc, ch 2.

Rnd 14: dc in same sp as ch 2, dc in each st around, join w/ slst ch 1, fasten off and weave in ends.
