Acorn Tree Creations Crochet Hat Patterns for All Sizes

Quick and Easy DC Stitch Crochet Beanie Hat

Skill Level: Easy Hook and Gauge: Size J (6.00 mm) hook Yarn weight: Worsted/Medium weight Gauge: 4 inch square = 12 dcs in 8 rows (lf you have a higher number of dcs in 4 inches, consider using a smaller hook or vice versa if you have a lower number of dcs) Finished Measurement Guidelines: (there will be some stretch in fit) NOTE: It is strongly recommended, whenever possible, to take a head circumference and length measurement of the hat recipient first and select sizing based on these measurements (columns 3 and 4 below) rather than the "Size" or "Age" description columns. Each head is different, and an individual's actual hat size may not fit the expected size for his or her age.

Note on stitch counts: At the end of each round, you will find a stitch count in parentheses, such as: (36 dc.) Please keep in mind that the first ch. 3 at the beginning of each round counts as a double crochet stitch. Thus, a stitch count of 36 dc includes the initial ch. 3 plus 35 double crochet stitches. 0 email acorntreecreations@gmail.com with any questions while working with the pattern.
