Winter/Fall Seasoned Crochet Knit Style Beanie Free Pattern for an adult man - Knot My Designs

Knit Style Beanie

As said before, when you work in men’s fashion – Black, Blue, White, Green, and Gray are your preferable SAFE COLORS. Any combination of these goes well too. While maroon, mustard, olive are new shades liked by men too; I still prefer using the safe-colour combinations for any male audience.

The customer was looking for a stylish beanie for himself. So, I combined Black, White and Gray colours to make the beanie. The colours resembled as that of Irregular Striped Scarf. Thus you can carry this Knit Style Beanie with the Irregular Striped Scarf as Hat-Scarf combo set.

Process:

For a stylish beanie, I was searching for a smart design. Knitting has always fascinated me. Though it is not that difficult to learn, my inclination towards crochet pulled me look for something that can give you Knit look style.

The knit stitch look could be achieved by Half Double Crochet (HDC). The stitch has 3 hidden lines. Usually, we use the First or Back Loop of HDC for most of the patterns, but to create a knit style you need to use the 3rd loop beneath the first and make another HDC stitch. The detailed process is mentioned in My Hobby Is Crochet. Kinga has described it in an elaborate manner.

The Black, grey, white yarn sequence – 8 rows of black, 8 rows of white, 8 rows of grey, 4 rows of black.

Body:-

R1: Started with a magic circle, and 12 Half Double Crochet stitches (HDC), join at the beginning. Total 12 HDC.

R2: Ch 2, 2 HDC in each HDC; repeat , join at the beginning. Total 24 HDC.

R3: Ch 2, 2 HDC in next HDC, HDC in next HDC; repeat , join at the beginning. Total 36 HDC.

R4: Ch 2, 2 HDC in next HDC, HDC in next 2 HDC; repeat , join at the beginning. Total 48 HDC.

R5: Ch 2, 2 HDC in next HDC, HDC in next 3 HDC; repeat , join at the beginning. Total 60 HDC.

Note: The total counts should be greater than 60 for an adult hat. It depends on the yarn, chosen crochet hook and your strength applied in each stitch.

R6: Ch 2, 2 HDC in next HDC, HDC in next 4 HDC; repeat , join at the beginning. Total 72 HDC.

R7: HDC in each HDC, join at the beginning. Total 72 HDC.

R8-R27: Repeat R7.

R28: Single Crochet (SC) in each HDC for edging.
