We start with the top of the beanie by making a so-called magic ring. This may be the hardest thing on the whole beanie but you will get the hang of it— we promise!

‍

Magic Ring
Hold the yarn in your left hand. Twist the yarn around your fingers (left hand) three times. Use your crochet hook to go under the first two loops and hook the third with your crochet hook. Pick up the yarn again and pull under the two loops, hook the yarn onto the crochet hook and pull through. Now the loop of the crochet hook holds together the double “inner ring” and you can proceed below.

‍
Lap 1:

Take off your ring from your hand. Take the crochet hook in your hand and catch the yarn with the crochet hook- thread the yarn through the loop that you have on your crochet hook. Now you make 7 single crochet stitches around your ring by going in with the crochet hook into the ring to catch the yarn and pull it back through the ring, catch the yarn again and pull it through the loop that you have on your crochet hook. When you have finished your 7 stitches, pull on the long ends to pull together and create your magic ring.

Then make a slip stitch to close the ring.

‍

Lap 2

‍

Start by making 3 chain stitches. After that, make a double crochet in the same loop as your just made your chain.

You make a double crochet by first wrapping the yarn around your crochet hook and then go into the stitch in your ring. Catch the yarn on the other side and pull it back the same way. You now have 3 loops on your crochet hook. Pick up the yarn again and pull through 2 of the loops on your crochet hook. Catch the yarn again and pull through all the loops on your crochet hook.

For the rest of the round, you continue to make 2 double crochet in each stitch.

Finish the lap with a slip stitch.

‍

Lap 3

Make 4 chain stitches.

Then make 1 double crochet in each stitch.

When you finish your lap, you finish with a slip stitch to close your lap.

‍

Lap 4

Time to make an increase so that the cap becomes larger in circumference.

Start the round with 4 chain stitch- place the chain stitch in the double crochet from the previous lap.

Then make 2 double crochet also these in the double crochet from previous lap-so that they are lined up.

Then make a double crochet in the middle of 2 double crochet (this will be the increase)

Now you continue to make 3 double crochet lined up with previous double crochet, then another double crochet in the stitch between the double crochet. Continue until you finish your lap.

Finish the lap with a slip stitch.

‍

Lap 5

Time to measure your head. If it's under 55cm, jump straight to lap 6. (18.20 in the video)

If your head is 56-59cm, do one more turn exactly like lap 4.

If your head is 59cm and bigger then do lap 4 - 3 times in total.

Lap 6

Make 4 chain stitches

Then make a double crochet that lines up with the double crochet from the previous lap throughout the lap until you finish your lap. Finish with a slip stitch.

Continue with this step until you have the height of the beanie you want.

‍

The Flower

‍

Repeat steps 1 and 2. When you are done- cut the yarn and attach it to the flower so it does not curl up.

Attach your flower to the beanie in the desired location- using your crochet hook or needle and thread.

If you want glitter on your hat then it is dax to put this on. We have chosen to use glue gun and glitter that we found in the nearest hobby shop.

Good luck!
