The Wavy Days Beanie Crochet Pattern

Based on tester feedback this pattern is labeled intermediate, but it is very possible for someone who is relatively new to crochet to follow this pattern. You just need to have a good understanding of reading patterns and you should be prepared to learn several new techniques. In the pattern, I have linked a video tutorial for the back loop tapestry crochet (the colorwork technique that is used) and the entire pattern is color coded. There is also the option of following the chart or you can choose to follow the written colorwork instructions. As a little bonus, I also included instructions on how to make a matching scarf using the chart.

Gauge: 14 sc by 14 rows in colorwork pattern = 4 by 4 in / 10 by 10 cm square

There are 3 sizes:

• Size 1 fits 18-20 in / 46-51 cm head circumference
• Size 2 fits 21-23 in / 53-58 cm head circumference
• Size 3 fits 24-26 in / 61-66 cm head circumference

Techniques Used:

• Crocheting In The Round
• Back Loop Tapestry Crochet
• Reading Colorwork Charts

Materials:

• Hook Size: 5.5mm (US size I) or size needed to obtain gauge. It is optional, but you may also need a crochet hook that is 1 to 2 sizes smaller than the one used to match gauge to make the brim of the hat.

• Yarn: 2 colors of bulky (#5) weight yarn or a heavy worsted (#4) yarn (i.e. yarn that is slightly thicker than standard worsted weight). I recommend using a wool or acrylic yarn and for best results at least one of the colors should be solid and the darker of the two colors should be used as color A. My sample hat is made with K + C Roving Wool in the colors ‘infinity’ and ‘cream’. Color A: approx. 90 (100) 110 g / 3.17 (3.53) 3.88 oz / 94 (105) 116 m / 103 (115) 127 yds Color B: approx. 57 (63) 70 g / 2 (2.22) 2.47 oz / 57 (67) 77 m / 62 (73) 84 yds Note: these estimates are only accurate if the yarn you are using is 100g/3.53 oz/105 m/115 yds per skein.

• Yarn that was used by me or the pattern’s testers: Petite Wool, K + C Roving Wool, Michael’s Craftsmart Value Economic, Lion Brand Yarn: Color Theory, Drops Yarn: Alaska, Big Twist: Living Yarn, Yarn Bee Soft & Sleek, Lion Brand Yarn: Scarfie. Other supplies:

• Scissors to cut your yarn

• Tapestry needle
