Cascade Mountain Beanie Instructions:
Hook - 6.5
To begin - chain 4, sl st to first ch to make a loop. Chain 1.
Row 1 - 8 HDC in loop, sl st to first stitch to join to
first HDC. Chain 1.
Row 2 - 2 HDC in each stitch around (total 16 HDC), sl st
to first stitch to join. Chain 1.
Row 3 - HDC in same stitch, 2 HDC in next, repeat around
= 24 HDC, sl st to join and chain 1
Row 4 - HDC in same stitch and next stitch, 2 HDC in
next, repeat around = 32 HDC, sl st to join and chain 1
Row 5 - HDC in same stitch and next 2 stitches, 2
HDC in next, repeat around = 40 HDC, sl st to join and chain 1
Row 6 - HDC in same stitch and HDC in next 3 stitches, 2
HDC in next ,repeat around = 48 HDC, sl st to join and chain 1
Row 7 - HDC in same stitch and HDC in next 4 stitches, 2
HDC in next, repeat around = 56 HDC.
DO NOT SL ST TO JOIN. From this row on you will
crochet in the round.
To continue - HDC in the top
of the HDC where you would normally sl st to join. Insert stitch marker.
Crochet a HDC in each stitch around until you
have 27 rows total. When you complete the 27th row, you will taper off by
doing 1 sc, then 2 sl st. Tie off yarn and weave in ends.
This will fit ladies medium (21-22"). You can customize the length
of your slouchy by decreasing or increasing the number of rows to suite your
taste.
You may share this post with a link back to mrsbrits.blogspot.ca, you can also do anything you wish with your finished creations. There are thousands of crochet tutorials online, while this is how I make my beanies, if you do find a similar tutorial it is purely coincidental. I ask you do not copy my instructions or pictures or post as your own.
