Final Days of Fall and Baby Pumpkin Beanie

PUMPKIN BEANIE

This Little Pumpkin Beanie was super super easy to make! I kept searching and searching for a pumpkin beanie and I just didn't care for any of them, so I just sort of guessed at what to do and I really like the way It tuned out! What is also great about this hat pattern is that  it could also be used to make an apple beanie.

WHAT YOU NEED:

- Worsted Wieght Yarn in Green and Orange

- Size H or I Hook

- Darning Needle

-Stitch Marker

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

- Magic Ring

- SC = Single Crochet

- How to work in the round - this means no Slip Stitch and Step up at the end of the round - you just keep going - you know your place because you use a stitch marker after your first round of SC and keep using it until you are done. 

First start with stem and then work in the round.  

Here's what I did.

Stem: Using Green Yarn and size H Hook, 

Make Magic Ring and crochet 6SC in ring.

Continue in the round until you have the length you want. 

(use a stitch marker so you know where your round starts/ends)

Once you have the length desired just increase by one each round. Soooo...

SC 2 in each SC for the first round off the stem =  12 stitches.

Next round, SC in SC, SC2 in SC ... repeat around.

Next round, SC in SC, SC in SC, SC2 in SC ...repeat around.

Next round, SC in SC, SC in SC, SC in SC, SC2 in SC

So on and so forth.

Continue with green until you are ready to switch colors.

When you switch to orange, use size I Hook

keep continuing increasing with the orange until you have the right size to fit your baby or child or maybe yourself? I just kept putting it on my baby's head! ;)

After you have achieved the right width, just keep crocheting 1SC in each SC with no increases until you have the right length. Then slip stitch and tie off  and weave in ends! 

You could easily add ear flaps to this, or a decorative little edging. I made this for my son so I kept it simple. 

I think the leaf makes it even sweeter! 

I know this isn't a true pattern, so please message me or comment if you need help!
