The Lina Beanie

I am so excited to release my very first pattern …. the Lina Beanie! I love using bulky yarn and I wanted to make a beanie for some friends who recently adopted a 9 month old baby girl. I knew the look I wanted and searched everywhere for a perfect pattern – Pinterest, Google, Instagram hashtags. Nothing jumped off the screen at me. So after a few days, I decided I would just make one without a pattern. I knew exactly what I wanted so I went for it. Beanies are one of my favorite items to crochet.

I’ve been using my pattern for months now. I’ve made several beanies ranging from newborn to adult sizes in different colors. Having made so many, I have discovered what bulky yarn brands work well for this pattern. My favorites are Lion Brand Hometown USA, Yarn Bee Dream Spun and Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick.

So, I finally decided to write my pattern and I’m so happy to be able to share this with you below. I hope you will enjoy this pattern as much as I do. It’s a great pattern to have!

Pattern Notes: Using a sizing chart or head measurements, you can adjust the pattern to fit any size you want:
– for the brim: continue your Rows until you reach the desired length.
– for the hat: continue alternating Rounds until you reach about ½ to 1 inch from the desired height then start the decreasing Rounds.

BRIM

Slip knot and CH 5.

Row 1 – SC in second CH from hook, SC in each remaining CH, CH 1, turn (4)

Row 2 – SC in BLO in first ST in row, SC in BLO in each remaining ST, CH 1, turn (4)

Row 3 – Repeat Row 2 until you reach your desired length. 37 rows (+-16 inches) for size 12-18 months.

You will want your last row to end on the same side as the slip knot.

Fold the brim in half so that your slip knot and last row (wrong side out) will be on your right, where you will start your seam. SLST in the FLO of the last row and the CH edge of first row (4 SLST).

Flip the seam right side out and turn 90° so you can work on the top edge of brim.

HAT

Round 1 – CH 1, SC around the top of the brim by placing one SC in each row of brim. Join to first SC with a SLST (36)

Round 2 – CH 2, DC in same ST as CH 2, DC in each remaining ST, SLST to first DC (36)

Round 3 – CH 1, SC in same ST as CH 1, SC in each remaining ST, SLST to first SC (36)

Round 4 – CH 2, DC in same ST as CH 2, DC in each remaining ST, SLST to first DC (36)

Round 5 – CH 1, SC in same ST as CH 1, SC in each remaining ST, SLST to first SC (36)

Round 6 – CH 2, DC in same ST as CH 2, DC in each remaining ST, SLST to first DC (36)

Round 7 – CH 1, SC in same ST as CH 1, SC in each remaining ST, SLST to first SC (36)

Round 8 – CH 2, DC in same ST as CH 2, DC in each remaining ST, SLST to first DC (36)

Your hat height should measure about 6 to 6.25 inches at this point for the 12-18 month size. For other sizes keep repeating these Rounds until you are close to your desired height (refer to notes above).

Round 9 – CH 1, SC in same ST as CH 1, SC in next ST, SC2Tog in next ST, *SC in next ST, SC in next ST, SC2Tog*. Repeat from *to* around, SLST to first SC

Lina Beanie

Round 10 – CH 1, SC in same ST as CH 1, *SC in next ST, SC2Tog*. Repeat from *to*.

Finish off leaving a long tail.

Closing Hat:
Using your tapestry needle, weave the tail in and out through the stitches at the top of the beanie. Pull tight to close. Weave in the ends.
