How to Crochet Easy Super Chunky Double Crochet Beanie Hat | Dylan Claire Beanie | Cre8tion Crochet

The Super Chunky Striped Dylan Claire Beanie is an easy crochet beanie pattern worked in simple double crochet stitches and fun stripes, and worked in a cozy, super bulky #6 yarn, which means it'll work up nice and quick! 7 sizes included from Newborn through Adult Large.
One thing I really love about working with super chunky yarns is how quickly projects come together. In a quick comparison to Worsted Weight #4 yarn when working a double crochet beanie, the newborn size requires 4 rounds of increases while the super bulky weight only requires 2! In the same comparison, an adult small size requires 7 rounds of increases while the super bulky weight only requires 3! Are you sold yet?
I designed this beanie using my own technique to keep the seam straight, and I'm showing you exactly how I do it! Feel free to replace with your own method - whatever you are the most comfortable with.

You'll need a 50 (65, 75, 90, 120, 145, 175) Total Yards of Super Chunky #6 Weight Yarn - I used Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick & Quick in Gray Marble and Barley colorways; Respectively that's about 25 each [35 & 30], 35 each, [45 each], 65 & 55, [75 & 70], 90 & 85, a M13/9mm Crochet Hook, a Tapestry Needle, and a soft tape measure as gauge is important.
You may find it helpful to have a pair of jewelry pliers on hand to help with weaving, or use a small crochet hook to weave with instead.
