BASIC Beanie Hat (Adult Size)

This hat works with Lion's Brand and Red Heart Yarn Worsted yarn. I used Lion's Brand for this hat. 

DC - Double Crochet
HDC - Half Double Crochet
Join - (Join the end of each round by slip stitching into the top of the first Double Crochet)



Start with Magic Ring, Chain 2
Row 1: 10 DC in Magic Ring, join. Chain 2
Row 2: 2 DC in each stitch and join. Chain 2.
Row 3: 2 DC in first stitch 1 DC in next stitch, Repeat until you have come back around and join at the top of your first DC. Chain 2.
Row 4:  2 DC in first stitch 1 DC in next 2 stitches, Repeat until you have come back around and join at the top of your first DC. Chain 2.
Row 5:  2 DC in first stitch 1 DC in next 3 stitches, Repeat until you have come back around and join at the top of your first DC. Chain 2.
Row 6:  2 DC in first stitch 1 DC in next 4 stitches, Repeat until you have come back around and join at the top of your first DC. Chain 2.
Row 7 - 15: DC in each stitch around, joining and chaining 2 after each round. 

Row 16: HDC in each stitch around, join and tie off.

Use a tapestry needle to weave end threads into the hat.

For the hat shown, I switched to white on Row 7 and Row 8, back to blue for three rows and back to white for Row 12 and Row 13.

The length of this hat can be adjusted by adding additional rows before you add the row of HDC.
