The Construction:
This crochet hat, like all of the crochet hats in this crochet along is worked from the brim up. I have worked a slip stitch brim, but if you would like to substitute the slip stitches for single crochet or half double crochet stitches, you may do so.
Unlike the other hats in the crochet along with focus on one or two different stitches to achieve their look, this crochet hat features more of a variety. Again you may work this beanie all in one colour, or in multiple. The pompom at the top is optional as this hat also looks great without!
The Materials:
For my hat today I have used the Wool Ease yarn by Lion Brand Yarn. It is a wool blended yarn that is medium/worsted weight. You are welcome to switch the yarn for another worsted weight, just be sure to check your gauge as it will affect the outcome of the size of your hat.
Along with the yarn, I will be using a 5 mm crochet hook. You will see me working with a Wooden Streamline hook in Ebony by Furls Crochet in the video tutorial below.

Row 1: Sl st in the 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across. Ch 1, turn. (9 sl sts)

Hi Sarah!!! I just finished your Grand Canyon Beanie! I used Lions Brand Pima Cotton and size 5 hook. Great texture created with the stitches and fun to make. I began crocheting last year and I find your directions very easy to follow and making the beanie with the band creates the perfect fit. Thank you for sharing these patterns. I’m going to be making the scarf next and then deciding on another of your patterns.
Hi Sarah, I’ve just finished the Grand Canyon hat. I had a problem in the finishing rounds. The top decreases did not entirely close up the hole. I’m experienced enough to have worked it out, but did you happen to change something or can you advise what may be happening? Thanks for your great patterns.
Hi Sarah, loved your tutorial!!!! Would you have instruction on different sizes. New at this and I love it.
