The video tutorial covers the steps for a messy bun beanie. In the written pattern below, I have added 2 more rounds in case you want to convert it to a closed beanie.
Yarn: Worsted yarn or your yarn of choice
Hook: 5.5 mm hook size for an adult size beanie.
Notes:
– The chain 1 at the beginning of each row is NOT considered a stitch.
– At the end of each round / row, the total number of stitches will be mentioned between brackets
– (No) Stitch name (e.g. 2 hdc): Means 2 half double crochet stitches in the same stitch i.e. increase
– Stitch name x (No) – e.g. hdc x 3: Means one half double crochet stitch into each of the next 3 stitches
– I used the invisible decrease method as shown in the video 31:15.
– For a smaller or bigger size beanie, use the same stitch count below with a smaller or bigger hook size.

Turn the work inside out. Now we will work around the long edge of the brim. This is now the RS.

This is beautiful ty for sharing I'm wondering if I can somehow use an elastic so it doesn't wear out like get stretched up top?
Erini
Sorry Enotsj for the very late reply. Somehow the notification e-mail got into a folder that I don't check frequently.
Thank you for your interest in my pattern and yes, for sure, you can add elastic if you want.
