What you need
Steps
Measure around your head with the measuring tape and note the number. This sets how many stitches you start with.
Pick your starting count by size: 10 double crochet plus chain 1 for extra small and small, 12 for medium to almost large, 14 for large.
Work the beanie in V-stitch, placing one double crochet, chain 1, double crochet into each chain space. Use the 5.0 mm hook for the main body.
Join each round and keep the stitch count even so the V pattern lines up. Try the hat on as you go and add or remove rounds for height.
Switch to the 4.5 mm hook for the ear muff band. Work a ribbed strip in double crochet that reaches from one ear over the top to the other.
Attach the band to the beanie edge with slip stitches, lining up the centre of the band with the front of the hat.
Crochet the roses with the 4.5 mm hook. Make a chain, work several double crochet into one stitch, then roll the strip into a spiral.
Sew each rose onto the band with the darning needle, spacing them evenly on both ear sections.
Weave in all loose ends on the inside with the darning needle and trim the yarn with scissors.
Tips and common mistakes
Check your stitch count after every few rounds, since a missed V-stitch throws off the whole pattern.
Make a small test swatch first so the finished hat matches your head measurement.
Keep the roses small and tight so they sit flat against the ear muff band.
Use a yarn needle with a large eye so the acrylic yarn does not fray while sewing.
Questions
Can I make this beanie in a different size?
Yes. The pattern gives stitch counts for extra small to large, so choose the count closest to your head measurement and adjust the number of rounds for height.
Do I need to know advanced stitches?
No. The hat uses double crochet, chain and slip stitches, so basic crochet skills are enough. The roses are simple rolled strips.
How much yarn does it take?
One skein of medium-weight acrylic is usually enough for a single hat, but buy two if you want matching roses in a second colour.
