I named this chunky beanie after a beautiful mountain in northern Germany. The alpine stitch pattern looks like little mountain peaks and makes a gorgeous texture.

Special Terminology
Front Post Double Crochet (fpdc) - The dc st is made in the same fashion, but where you insert your hook will be different. In this particular pattern, you will be inserting your hook from front to back to front around the dc post 2 rounds below the round you are on. You will follow the normal steps to make your dc as usual.

Gauge
Diameter should measure approx. 6.5-7 inches after completing Rounds 1-3. If your diameter measures differently, you need to adjust your hook size accordingly and begin again.

Finished Measurements
Hat is made to fit the average adult-sized head, measuring approx. 21-24 inches in circumference and approx. 8.5-9 inches in length.

I have also included a YouTube video tutorial to help with the most difficult portions of the pattern.
