How to Crochet a Beanie / Lion Brand 'Landscapes' Yarn

Future comments for myself if I make this one again & of coarse if it helps someone, that's always good. This one was alot of trial & error for me with this; I fixed it over and over until I liked it. I like the outcome alot now. 2 comments were really helpful.... one about removing 1 row of increase rounds.... and another about creating a chain to measure the circumference required for the head. So thank you to those people for those inspirations. I decided to just use a piece of yarn to measure my head circumference (bc I don't have time to count stitches). I pulled off 1 increase round and it was still too big, so I pulled off a second. Once the rim of this circle I had crocheted matched the size I want the brim to be, I started building regular DC stitches to get the height (stopped increases). But thing is.... she does 10 regular + 4 fpdc/bpdc for the brim..... I only needed 7 rows (once it was about to my hairline, for reference) then added 4 rows of fpdc/bpdc for the border. And that is visual preference, it could have worked with 8 rows of dc and 3 rows of fpdc/bpdc for a smaller rim if you don't want it that thick on the border. Anyway. So for me, I did.... Size 4 yarn Size H (5mm) hook R1: The original circle with 10 dc R2: 2 in each R3: 1,2 pattern R4: 1,1,2 pattern R5: 1,1,1,2 pattern R6-R12: 1 only R13-R16: fpdc/bpdc for brim This worked for me personally. Hopefully this is enough info to help anyone troubleshoot who is struggling too.

Hey Julie, I’m using a much thicker yarn and don’t need to do as many increasing rounds. Could you tell me the diameter of the crown in either centimetres or inches? I think I might only need to to do 4 or 5 increasing rounds. Any advice is much appreciated.

[@maeseamccalpin8057]

This was by far the easiest tutorial to follow for a beanie that I've found so far. I was making one for an adult male, so I ended my last round of increases with 9 double crochets followed by an increase every 10th stitch. Then I crocheted 5 rounds without increases followed by 3 rounds of the pattern she uses at the bottom. It fit perfectly!

This is a fantastic little tutorial!!! I've been crocheting for almost a year now, watched many KZbin videos, done my fair share of diverse projects and learned to read patterns along the way. I wish everyone did their tutorials like this! You can follow whether you're a beginner or more experienced crocheter. It's not to slow or too fast paced. It's just, so well done.

So how long does it take you to complete a beanie for beginners?

[@lisajligon]

My son has a big head and a lot of hair. To make this big enough for him, I used a 7mm hook, started with chain 6 to make the center circle and 20 double crochets for round 1. Then 3 in 2 for the first TWO rounds. Then 4 in 3, 5 in 4, 6 in 5, and 7 in 6 for one round each. Then I followed the rest of your pattern exactly (starting at 7:58). It came out perfect. Thanks so much for this!

[@lisamalone441]

I love that you jump right into what is needed. I love the colour of yarn choice. I like hearing the soumd of the yarn as the crochet hook weaves its way through the pattern. The patyern is nice and I have learned enough stitches to complete the project. I must not leave out the warm and friendly visitor who was in the video for their cameo appearance. Blessings upon you and your loved ones. Thank you for sharing

I LOVE this tutorial. There is no unnecessary talking for the sake of loving to hear your own voice. You explain things in a matter of fact way without constantly stumbling over your own words due to your mouth going faster than your brain and feeling the need to fill every moment with noise. Many crochet content creators will not edit out their word stumbling, so it makes it difficult to understand what they’re trying to say. Again, I believe they just love to hear themselves talk. I’ve been trying to find a simple tutorial to learn crocheting in the round and the incessant chatter from all the videos I have watched until this one made it difficult to focus. Thank you for getting straight to the point and only conveying what’s important. I now understand the pattern for increases in the round. You have a new subscriber.

[@irumfahad9374]

Yes please

[@ShehzeenKhan13]

Hi! Since we start with 10 double crochets(DC), each row should have 10 more stitches than the previous row. For eg: row 2 will have 20 (two DC in each stitch), row 3 will have 30 (1DC and then 2DC in the next stitch), row 4 is 40, and so on till it fits your head, and then we add the ribbing Hope this helps!

[@vinayoung6763]

Crocheting is a totally new thing for me as I challenge myself to learn something new to start this year. I wanna prove that it's never too late to learn (I'm now 49 going to be 50 soon!). So here I go! KZbin is my teacher. I have made my 1st project of making infinity scarf then I wanna extend it to a beanie. After checking out some tutorials here for beginners, then I came across this Mindfulknots! And I am now working on round 4 of the beanie. Your instruction is easy to understand, so helpful for a super beginner like me. I paused and go back many times too. Sometimes got lost with the pattern; did I do double crochet on that stitch? And redo again. 😂 I enjoy this new journey. Thank you so much Mindfulknots! I can't wait to have my 1st beanie done! 😘😘

[@mopearsonsepulveda8595]

Thank you so much! Made this beanie for my nephew today. Your instructions are FANTASTIC! I've never been able to make a circle until now. Thank you!

[@unicornglitterfart5201]

I do what to make a quick note that almost no crocheter brings up when crocheting in the round. Start every other row off with an increase stitch (2 DC into the same stitch) If you don’t do this, but rather start all rows off with the appropriate number of 1 DC into each stitch first, all of the increase stitches will be aligned and you will end up with a hexagon instead of a circle. I keep it simple and I begin the pattern with an increase stitch on every even numbered row. So here is what I mean. Let’s say we’re starting at row 4. Row 4 has a repeating pattern of one DC per stitch for 2 stitches, then 2 DC into the third stitch Row 5 has a pattern of one DC per stitch for 3 stitches and then 2 DC into the 4th stitch Row 6 has a pattern of one DC per stitch for 4 stitches and then 2 DC into the 5th According to most in the round videos, row 4 will begin with one DC into the first 2 stitches and row 5 will also begin with one DC into the first 3 stitches. In fact, every row starts with this portion of the pattern. Do not do this. Start row 4 with 2 DC into the very first stitch and then do one DC into the next 2 stitches and so on. Row 5 will begin with one DC into the first 3 stitches, then 2 DC into the 4th stitch and on. Row 6 is an even numbered row, so start with the increase stitch of 2 DC into the first stitch then one DC into each of the next 4 stitches. I hope this helps out any beginners who stumble across this video because this tip seems to be the biggest secret that crocheters gatekeep and I don’t know why.

[@ananyagupta670]

Thanks for sharing! It took me two trials to make this successfully as i was using medium yarn and 5mm crochet. The first time I tried it, it was very big and I had to undo everything. So I decided to reduce stitches by 1 from the beginning. I did 9 instead of 10 in the first row, 18, 27, and so on. 63 in the repeated 10 rows. Turned out very well! Hoping that it stretches further but is snug right now. Love the pattern! Finished it in a day the second time!

I've made about 7 of these now using the Lion Brand Landscapes yarn. They don't take too long to make at all. I like how easy it is to adjust the pattern to suit your size requirements as well. For me, I find using a 5mm hook works best. I also skip the last increase round and do six of the straight double crochet rounds after the last increase round instead of ten, and finish with four rounds of the FPDC and BPDC ribbing. The other thing I like about this pattern is you don't have to make the ribbed edge separately.

There are charts showing how big to make the top of the hat for different sized heads. I think I looked up diameter of a hat. When you reach the indicated diameter, you quit increasing and switch to the crochet stitch you are working in. Hope that helps.
