What you need
Steps
Pick your yarn and hook. Match the hook size to your yarn label, then check your gauge so the finished hat fits the size you want.
Choose a size from 3 to 6 months up to adult large and note the starting chain count for that size in the pattern.
Chain the starting number for your size, then work row 1 across the chain to set the width of the rectangle.
Work rows 2 and 3 in the pattern, placing puff stitches where the pattern says to build the wheat texture.
Keep repeating the row sequence, counting stitches at the end of each row so the rectangle stays straight.
Continue until the rectangle reaches the length for your size. The brim is worked into the same piece, so no separate brim is needed.
Fold the rectangle in half with right sides together and join the two short sides with slip stitch or single crochet to form a tube.
Turn the tube right side out. Thread your yarn needle and run a gathering stitch around the top opening.
Pull the gathering thread tight to close the crown, then weave in the end on the inside to secure it.
Tips and common mistakes
Count your stitches at the end of every row, since one missed puff stitch throws off the texture for the rest of the hat.
Keep your tension even so the rectangle does not pull narrower at one end.
Try the tube on before closing the top to check the fit and brim depth.
Weave in all ends on the inside so they do not show through the puff stitches.
Questions
Do I need to know puff stitches already?
It helps to practice one puff stitch on a scrap swatch first. The tutorial walks through the stitch slowly, so a confident beginner can follow along.
Can I make this beanie in other sizes?
Yes. The pattern lists sizes from 3 to 6 months up to adult large. Change the starting chain and the number of rows to match your chosen size.
How much yarn does the hat use?
One skein of worsted weight yarn is usually enough for an adult hat. Check the pattern for the exact amount for your size.
