Row 1: CH 16, turn. Row 2: Working in the BACK BUMP of each st, place 1 HDC SL st. (16 total st). CH 1, turn. Row 3: Skip turning CH, then place 1 HDC SL st in each BLO (16 total st). CH 1, turn. Rows 4 - End: Repeat Row 3 until the brim reaches 16-20 inches (depending on the size of the head of the person you are making this for). Make sure you end your last row so that your crochet hook is on the opposite side of the brim from your starting tail. Fold so that short edges are together and place SL st in the corresponding stitches to join. Fold brim in half length-wise and section it off into four parts. Secure the loop on your crochet hook with a safety pin or stitch marker. *Make sure for the entire pattern that you aren’t accidentally working in the SL st at the end of the row or the joining CH stitches as this will cause your pattern to slowly increase* BODY: Attach Color B yarn to crochet hook using a slip knot. Row 1: Starting in the available loops near the starting tail, working in BOTH sides of the brim, place 1 SC + CH st. Spacing your stitches as evenly as you can, place 20 DC stitches in each of the four sections of your brim (the SC + CH 1 st doesn’t count). SL st in 1st DC st to join. Row 2: CH 2, working back in current st, place 1 DC, then place 1 DC in each st in the row (80 total DC st). SL st in 1st DC st to join. Trade out your crochet hook and st marker, preserving Color B yarn loop and working in Color A yarn now. Make sure that you are working on the INSIDE of the beanie, then CH 4. Row 3: Place 1 SL st in the current st where you already placed the SL st in the previous row. CH 2, then place 1 DC back in the current st. Place 1 DC in each st in the row (80 total DC st). SL st in 1st DC st to join. Row 4: CH 1, then working around 1st DC st, place 1 BACK POST st. Place 1 BACK POST st around each st in the row, make sure you skip the CH 2 at the end of the row (80 total BACK POST st). SL st in 1st BACK POST to join. Trade out your crochet hook and st marker, preserving Color A yarn loop and working in Color B yarn now. Make sure that you are working on the INSIDE of the beanie, then CH 3. Row 5: Place 1 SL st in the current st where you already placed the SL st in the previous row. CH 2, then place 1 DC back in the current st. Place 1 DC in each st in the row (80 total DC st). SL st in 1st DC st to join. Row 6: CH 2, working back in current st, place 1 DC, then place 1 DC in each st in the row. Place 1 SL st in back of the current st to join. Rows 7 - 18: Repeat Rows 3 - 6. Row 19: Make sure you are working in Color A yarn and have chained 4. Place 1 SL st in the current st where you already placed a SL st in the previous row. Place 1 DC back in current st, then place 1 DC in the next 39 st (40 total DC st). Fold beanie so you can join with the 1st DC st to create a small, half circle. Place 1 SL st in the 1st DC to join. Row 20: CH 2, place 1 BACK POST st around the 1st DC st, then 1 BACK POST st in each st in the row (40 total BACK POST st).
