Hello, welcome back to my blog! For your latest hooking pleasures we will be working on the Mr. Beanie. If you missed the partner in crime to this hat, the Mrs. Beanie, you can find it here. With Valentine's day only three days away you might be looking for some last minute gifts to give your loved ones. These would be perfect for any couple you know or even as a gift in your own relationship. These hats were inspired by my own relationship and we're no where close to getting married. Whatever the reason you make these hats, I hope you enjoy this pattern I have created!
So let's get started!
Again for this pattern, same as the Mrs. beanie, I decided to use the mainstays yarn from Walmart. It's cheap, easy to work with, and pretty soft compared to other yarns!
For this pattern you will need:
- Two skeins of yarn (I used tan and purple)
- G - 4.25 hook
- J - 5.75 hook
- Tapestry needle
- Scissors
- Measuring tape
Abbreviations used:
Sl st - slip stitch
Sc - single crochet
Wst - waistcoat stitch
Blo - back loop only
Band:
G - 4.25 hook
Using tan ch 8
Row 1: Sc in the 2nd ch from hook and each ch across (7)
Row 2: Ch 1 and turn, sc blo in the first st and each remaining st (7)
Row 3 - 66: Repeat row 2
Your band should measure 18" unstretched
Sl st shorter ends together
Body: J - 5.75 hook
*Hat will now be worked in rounds*
Hat will be worked into two colors; t = tan, p = purple
Row 1: Ch 1, sc all around the top of the band. Sl st. (66)
*From here the pattern is worked in the waistcoat stitch*
*I created this pattern using a graph, so the next part of the pattern will be worked in color changes. For example, in the first row you will do 20t, 1p, 2t, 11p. T stands for tan, P stands for purple*
*You will need to carry the color yarn you're not using behind the stitch you are crocheting*
Row 2: Ch 1, 25t, 1p, 2t, 3p, 2t, 3p, 1t, 1p, 1t, 1p, 26t (66)
Row 3: Ch 1, 27t, 1p, 2t, 2p, 1t, 1p, 1t, 1p, 1t, 1p, 1t, 1p, 26t (66)

Finish off leaving a long tail
Weave tail in and out of each waistcoat stitch on the last row, pull together. Make sure the hole is closed tight and finish off weaving in ends.
Make your pompom using purple (secondary color) and sew onto hat. I use Fabric-Tac to glue the pompom down for extra strength.

Happy hooking and happy Valentine's day!
