MelodyCrochet: Crochet a Slouchy Beanie Hat

Ch2 does not count as a stitch.
Do not turn at the end of any rows.
Leave a 4”+ Tail in your Magic Circle to weave in and secure afterward.
Do not fasten off before beginning brim. The separation of sections is just in case you made more or less than 17 rows when creating your choice of length.
In the video I move seamlessly from the 3 *SCDec + 1 BLSC* at the end of row three into the 2 *SCDec + 1 BLSC* at the begining of row 4. That is why I say to do it FIVE times. Please, forgive any confusion.

Start with a Magic Circle (or chain 4 and slip stitch)

Row 1, ch2, 12 DC into MC over tail. SS (12)

Row 2: ch2, IncDC into each stitch around. SS. (24)

Row 3: ch2, *1 DC + Inc DC* around. SS. (36)

Row 4: ch2, *2 DC + IncDC* around. SS. (48)

Row 5: ch2, DC around (48)

Row 6: ch2, *3 DC + IncDC* around. SS. (60)

Row 7: ch2, *4 DC + IncDC* around. SS. (72)

Row 8-17+: ch2, DC across. SS. (72)

Begin Brim

Row 1: ch1, SC around. (Do not SS or ch...we are working in a spiral).

Row 2: 64 BLSC (Leaves 8 unworked stitches) *SCDec + 2 BLSC* 2 times (70)

Row 3: *SCDec + 2 BLSC* 3 times and continue to BLSC across until the stitch before the

first SCDec in the previous row. *SCDec + 1 BLSC* 2 times.(65)

Row 4: *SCDec + 1 BLSC* 3 times and continue to BLSC across. (62)

Row 5-7: BLSC across. (62)

Fasten Off, Weave in Ends.

Here is a list of basic stitches linked to the videos I made so we can learn and practice them together!
