Hey All! Hope your week is off to a good start! It’s been pretty busy around here! Working on so many different things! I’ve got lots to share this week as I’ve been on a video making mission!
If you are in our Facebook Group then you already know the popularity of the Graph Beanies! It all started with a Coffee Beanie! Then exploded to Mocha, Latte, Fighter and LOTS more! So here is the “Love” Beanie. It was the one that was voted on to make next AND to have a video made of it. Which is done! Thanks to Diana & Lynn for helping with the Graph!
This is my 1st attempt at this type of Beanie and also using the Waistcoat stitch! Which is also known as the Knit stitch. You can kinda see in the letters that it looks knitted.
So I’m sharing the pattern here with you all and I’ll also be posting the video when it’s done. Thinking later tonight. But for sure tomorrow.
**UPDATE Video has been added below. Also just to note since this hat was made using a #5 Bulky yarn I was able to fit the words perfectly on the front. Now you can use a #4 yarn (I plan on making one using #4 soon) but since the yarn is thinner your outcome will be different. I’m just learning this Graph stuff but will share my tips & tricks along the way.

The pattern was updated to add a few things included a chart for left-handed crocheters. If you find any errors please let me know. I am by no means a pattern writer at all. Just do my best to share what I did.

I’m sorry but confused. Your brim is 45, but them you are having 50 crochet 52 stitches. So do we want to add stitches to the brim? Thank you
Hi Dawn, No you are just adding to the 1st round of the Hat. I made this an Adult size hat. Not sure if you saw the gauge. I do crochet tight. So my Brim at 45 rows fit around my Head. This will stretch. My head is almost 21″. Your count for Round 1 of the Hat should be 52 stitches. Hope this makes sense. You are very welcome.
Hi Yvonne! I was trying to follow your video, but you said chain 45 but the 45 chains doesn’t fit my head. Can i keep adding until it does and will the pattern still end up correct? Thanks in advance for any help. God bless and keep up the Great work.
Hi Mary, are you talking about the brim? If so you are working doing the following: ** Also I’m using a #5 weight yarn.
Brim: Ch 6 (made a 2” Brim)
Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across, ch1, turn (5 sc)
Row 2: sc in next sc, sc in BLO in next 3 sc, sc in last sc, ch1, turn (5 sc)
Row 3 – 45: Repeat Row 2 (Ended up at 17 ½”)
If 45 rows is to small you can add more – When you start the Hat part you want to have at least 52 stitches. Hope that makes sense. If not let me know.
Thank you!
