Amethyst Beanie Crochet Pattern

The Amethyst Beanie crochet pattern is a beautiful crochet beanie that is worked from the brim up using basic crochet stitches such as the single crochet.

Like many of the other crochet beanies that I have worked this past year, such as the Arden Beanie Crochet Pattern, this beanie features a cozy double thick brim that is going to keep you extra warm in the winter months.  I typically work my beanie brims using slip stitches, however you may wish to use a single crochet or half double crochet.

Growing up, amethyst was one of my favourite stones.  I kept several polished pieces of it and loved it for its colour.  The colours that I worked my original Amethyst beanie in and the stitch pattern reminded me of this beautiful stone!

Materials:

For the Amethyst Beanie, I will be working with two different colours of a worsted weight yarn.  In the photos and in the video tutorial I am using the Color Theory Yarn by Lion Brand Yarn.  It is super soft and 100% acrylic.  You will need 2 balls, one for your colour A and one for your colour B.

For this pattern you will also need a 4.5 mm crochet hook.  In the video tutorial below I will be using a Birchwood Hook by Rowan Yarns.

Pattern Notes:

• Pattern is written in American English terms.
• Brim of hat is worked in rows, body of hat is worked in rounds.
• Ch 1 at beginning of round does not count as stitch.
• Do not turn at the end of each round, unless stated otherwise.
• Weave in ends as needed.
• OPTIONAL: Brim of hat may be worked using either single crochet stitches or half double crochet stitches instead of the slip stitches.  You may also wish to shorten the foundation chain to make a brim that is not folded over (i.e. ch 13)
• To change the size of your beanie, you will need a multiple of 12 stitches for the first round of the hat body.

Free Crochet Pattern:

Brim (Worked in rows):

With colour A, ch 26 (For brim that is folded over).

Row 1: Sl st in the 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across.  Ch 1, turn.  (25 sl sts)

Row 2: Working in the blo, sl st in each st across.  Ch 1, turn.  (25 sl sts)

Continue to repeat row 2 until work from the beginning measures approximately 16-17 inches.

Do not fasten off, but fold brim of hat so that two shorter ends meet. Now working through both thicknesses, sl st across working through the blo on each side. Do not fasten off.  If working the long brim that you intend on folding, simply turn your work to work around the edge.  If you are working a short brim that you will not fold up to wear, turn work right side out (so that the right side is facing you).

Now working around the edge of the brim, continue working in rounds as follows:
