I don’t like to waste my yarn scraps at all so I keep them in one drawer. (I think all of YOU who’s crocheting can relate :D) My drawer was getting full so I decided to use some of those scraps up and TA-DA! that’s how I created this super easy beanie design.

Difficulty:
Easy / Advanced Beginner
Size:
Regular Adult
Materials needed:
- 5 mm (H) Hook (Get great hooks HERE)
- Approximately 220 yards/202 metres (100-110 grams) of worsted/aran weight yarn (I used Paintbox Yarns Simply Aran and Stylecraft Special Aran SCRAPS in different colours)
- Yarn needle for weaving in ends
- Scissors
- Optional: Faux fur pompom
Stitches used and Abbreviations:
MR = magic ring
CH = chain
ST = stitch
SK= skip
SLST = slip stitch
SC3LO = single crochet 3rd loop only
HDC = half double crochet
DC = double crochet
FPDC = front post double crochet
BPDC = back post double crochet
*-* =repeat pattern between these symbols
Additional terms/ Special Stitches:
Stitching in the 3rd loop only of HDC:
Look at the top of the stitch and locate the sideways ”V”, bend the stitch to look at the back and you should see another ”V”. You will be working into the back loop of that ”V”. This creates a nice, braided look.
Front Post Double Crochet:
Yarn over, insert your hook from the front around the post of given stitch, from right to left, yarn over and finish your double crochet as usual.
Back Post Double Crochet:
Yarn over, insert your hook from the back around the post of given stitch, yarn over and finish your double crochet as usual.
Gauge:
4 DC = 1”
Additional notes:
- If a round starts with a Chain 1 or 2, that is not counted as a stitch.
- US terms used throughout
- When you’re about to work in a stitch with a stitch marker in it, just simply take it out, I won’t include a separate note for that J
- Notes are written in (brackets) to help you through the pattern or state someting which can be unclear at first read
