Notes

  • The first stitch of each row/round is worked into the same stitch as the beginning/turning chain.
  • The beginning chain or a row/round does not count as a stitch.
  • I tend to crochet on the tighter side. You may find yourself needing to go down a hook size (or two) to properly meet gauge.

 

Special Stitches

  • Forward Cable 2 (FWD Cbl 2) (click for tutorial): Skip the next post st, fpdc around the next post st, working in front of the post st just worked, fpdc around the skipped post st.
  • Forward Cable 6 (FWD Cbl 6) (click for tutorial): Skip the next 3 post sts, fptr around each of the next 3 post sts, working in front of the post sts just worked, fptr around each of the 3 skipped post sts.

Cabled Beanie: Kid Sizes

Band Instructions

Crochet Hook: H/8/5.00mm

Gauge: 7 sts = 1.5″ 

Row 1 (RS): Ch 8, working in the back hump of the foundation chain, sc in the 2nd ch from your hook, sc in each ch across. Turn.  (7 sts)

Row 2: Ch 1, BLO sl st in each st across. Turn.

Row 3: Ch 1, BLO sc in each st across to last st, BOTH LOOPS sc in last st. Turn.

Rep Rows 2 – 3, ending with a Row 3 Rep, until your band (unstretched – meaning before it’s been wrapped around a head) measures (13″, 14″). Do not fasten off. Continue on to Seam.

Seam 

With the right side facing out, bring the first row up to meet the last row. Make sure to keep your working yarn on the inside of the band. Ch 1, insert your hook from front to back into the FLO of the first row, insert your hook from back to front into the BLO of the last row, yo, pull up a loop and pull it thru all loops on your hook to complete a sl st. Repeat across the short edge of the band. Continue on to Body of Hat.

 

Body of Hat – Toddler / Child

Switch to J/10/6.00mm crochet hook

Gauge (in fpdc): 8 sts  x 6.25 rows = 2″

Rnd 1: Ch 1, working into the sides of the band, sc 65 (70) sts evenly around the band. Join w/ a sl st to the 1st sc.  (65, 70 sts)

Note: Beginning with round 2 we will be working in continuous rounds so that we do not have a visible seam in our hat. I highly suggest using a stitch marker or a 3-4″ long scrap piece of yarn place between the first and last stitches of each round. Move it up as you complete each round. 

Rnd 2: Ch 1, [ hdc in the next st, fpdc around each of the next 4 sts ] work from [ to ] 4 times, hdc in the next st, fpdc around each of the next 2 sts, hdc in each of the next 2 sts, fpdc around each of the next 6 sts, hdc in each of the next 2 sts, fpdc around each of the next 2 sts, then work from [ to ] 6 (7) times.

The finished height of your hat should be approximately (6.75″, 7.25″).

      This is the beanie version! I do have a messy bun version in another post, but this one is for the beanie and not the messy bun. 😉

        Then maybe I miss counted? When I finish the last row of hat there’s a hole at top of hat.
