The Ultimate Summer Hat

Designed by Michael Sellick ©2012 The Crochet Crowd

summer1 Summer2

This Beanie was designed for men or women. Change the colour to suit your own personal style. The pattern is for only this type of Bernat Mosaic Yarn. Due to the properties of this yarn, creating this same design using value yarns will produce an excessively big crochet hat and will not work. 

Materials Needed:


DC = Double Crochet, SL ST = Slip Stitch, BEG = Beginning, 


Instructions for Body of Hat


  • Chain 3 then in the 1st Chain DC 12 Times to form circle. Join with a SL ST 
FROM THIS POINT, you will crochet in the backloops only for the remaining of the body of that hat.

R1: Place stitch marker in to know when you have gone all the way around. 2 SC into the back loop of the first stitch, then 2 DC into the back loops each stitch until you run back into the stitch marker. We will work in a continuous circle so there is no slip stitching that will appear in your beanie. 

R2: *1 DC into next stitch, then 2 DC into the next, Repeat from * all the way around. 


R3: *1 DC into the next 2 stitches, then 2 DC into the next, Repeat from * all the way around.


R4: * 1 DC into the next 3 stitches, then 2 DC into the next, Repeat from * all the way around.


R5: *1 DC into the next 4 stitches, then 2 DC into the next. Repeat from * all the way around. 


R6 - 14: 1 DC into each.


Finish: Off with 2 SC in a row, then 2 SL ST. Fasten off and weave in ends.
