Bubblegum Beanie Crochet Pattern
Materials:
• Approximately 145-175 yards (2.5 - 3 oz.) of worsted weight yarn.
• I used Paintbox Yarn Simply Aran in the shades
• Lime Green
• Melon Sorbet
• Bubblegum Pink
• Seafoam Blue
• Paper White
• H Crochet hook (or size required to achieve proper gauge)
• Tapestry Needle
• Fur or yarn pompom
• Scissors
Pa6ern Notes:
• There are a couple of process photos at the end of this paTern.
• The band of this hat is worked in rows.
• The V sVtch porVon is worked in rounds.
• There is a hole at the top of the hat that will need to be cinched when you’re done.
InstrucVons for doing this are given at the end of each size.
• Chains DO NOT count as sVtches on the band. Chains DO count as sVtches on the
body.
• Change colors as oXen or as liTle as you like. Cut yarn and weave ends when you wish
to change color. On the next row join your new color with a sl st and proceed as
instructed.
S@tch Abbrevia@ons:
• V sVtch = 2 dc in the same sVtch.
• BLO indicates working into the back loop only.
• dc2tog = double crochet 2 together.
Gauge Swatch:
• Finished swatch should measure 4 inches x 4 inches. If your square is too small, go up in
hook size. If your square is too big, go down in hook size.
• Ch 15.
• Row 1: Dc in the third chain from the hook and in each sVtch across. Ch 2, turn. (13)
• Rows 2-8: Dc in the second sVtch and in each sVtch across, Ch 2, turn. (13)

At this point, your brim should measure approximately 15 inches long when gently
stretched. You don’t want to have to pull hard to reach this length - just a gentle stretch.
If your brim is longer, remove a few rows unVl the proper size is achieved. If your brim is
too short, add rows unVl it’s the proper length.
Use a tapestry needle and the tail of yarn to sew the short edges of your band together.
