This pattern is worked primarily with the waistcoat stitch. You must be able to waistcoat or center single crochet. You must also know how to color change and carry yarn. Tutorials are available on YouTube.
This pattern is written with 3 colors of yarns but has been made in four colors also. One for the brim and lines, second color for the hat, third color for the beans, and fourth color for the mugs. You can choose any color variation.
This size is teen / adult beanie style. You can add additional rounds above and below the bean rounds to make into a slouch style hat.
You will need to use I Love This Yarn or Red Heart With Love or anything that is similar to these yarns. They are stretchy and this helps make the waistcoat stitch easier. Less than a skein used of each color.
You will need a stitch marker to keep track of each round. As well as scissors, and a yarn needle. Hook sizes H and J
