Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in peach
• Hook: 5.5mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 14 stitches and 16 rows = 4 inches in ribbing pattern

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Start by making a foundation chain of 60 stitches. Once you have your chain, join the last stitch to the first with a slip stitch to form a ring. Be careful not to twist the chain as you join.
2. Round 1: Chain 2 (this counts as your first half double crochet, or hdc). Now, hdc in each stitch around the ring. After completing the round, join with a slip stitch to the top of the beginning chain-2.
3. Round 2: Chain 2 again. This will be your starting point for the ribbing. Now, *front post double crochet (fpdc) around the next stitch, then back post double crochet (bpdc) around the next stitch; repeat from * around the entire round. Once you reach the end, join with a slip stitch to the top of the beginning chain-2.
4. Continue Ribbing: Repeat Round 2 until your piece measures 8 inches from the beginning. This will create the beautiful ribbed texture that characterizes your beanie.
5. Finishing: Once you have reached the desired height, fasten off your yarn, leaving a long tail for closing the top of the beanie. Use a tapestry needle to weave the tail through the top loops of the last round. Pull tight to close the top of the beanie securely. Finally, make sure to secure the yarn and weave in any remaining ends to keep your beanie looking neat.

Congratulations! You have successfully created your very own cozy crochet ribbed beanie. This project not only keeps you warm but also allows you to express your creativity. Enjoy wearing your new beanie or gifting it to a loved one!
