I really like the look of this hat! Thanks Breann for all you do, it is greatly appreciated!
Thank you!!
Wow! Can’t wait to try it! Thank you!
You are my favourite source of beanies and help inspire me to continue making them for the kids in hospitals undergoing oncology treatments! I love your detailed tutorials too!
Thank you so much!!
am loving this CAL…
Is there a tutorial for the half ring stitch, I can’t find a video to teach me this new stitch?
Hi! I found a tutorial on Pinterest, but it’s not in English 🙂
Found it, watched the video, now I’ve got it. Thank you.
Thank you, Breann, for the inspirational patterns in your summer CAL. My friend and I have challenged each other to make ten beanies a month for our church group to give away to the homeless, school children, cancer patients, and our preschool children. I needed a new idea. Love these CAL ‘s!

Awesome! Thanks so much for joining!
What other yarn could use? I don’t have one craft store where I live and they don’t have a great selection.
Hi! Any worsted weight (4) acrylic or cotton yarn would be perfect 🙂
Breann, thank you so much for these patterns! I give alot of these out! I love having different styles & sizes on hand! Sometimes depending on the need I pair them up with a scarf or even a lapghan.
I’m on a limited income, but I get alot of varieties of yarn given to me. So with the yarn & your free patterns I get to help alot of people!! God bless! Oh & I get to learn new stitches!! Last year my hubby & I gave out about 40! Hoping to do more this year!
That’s awesome! Thank you so much for your comment!
I love this pattern! Thank you so much ❤❤❤
Thank you!
Where is the half ring stitch used in the pattern?
I can’t find what rows to use it in.
In round 7 🙂
I have a very small head should i adjust the size in anyway or doesn’t it matter?
Hi! You can either go down a hook size, or you can take out an increase round 🙂
First hat complete! Thanks for the great and easy to follow instructions! This will be going to a local school with a population of students in need.
Thanks so much!
Great hat, fun to make.
Thank you 🙂
Thank for the hat pattern.
I will use this for people in Anderson South Carolina who don’t have money to get a hat in the winter.
Thank you
You’re very welcome!
I just made up this hat to add to my crochet projects. Thank you so much for this pattern: It is well-written and accurate. I enjoyed learning a new textured stitch, as well.
I’m using up stash yarn, so I doubled up some Loops & Threads Woolike, and used a 4.5mm hook. This was still a bit small, so I added a few increase rounds to the crown, and one double-crochet round to the length of the hat.
Thank you so much for offering this pattern to use for charity. I think someone will appreciate this good-looking hat!
Yay! Thank you so much!!
I love it! My first successful hat! The other back loop method I’ve tried, just not working for me. Thanks so much! I love the final look!
Awesome!! Thank you!!
What’s the difference between this half ring stitch & a yarn over slip stitch? Am i missing a step in the half ring stitch?
(More likely than i want to admit, lol) 🤦🏼♀️💕
I’m not sure. I’ve never done the yarn over slip stitch. It might be the same 🙂
Is a magic ring always done with 11 double crochet stitches ?
It can be done with any amount of stitches 🙂
i have found instructions for patterns that do not state how many to begin with.
Just an FYI Thank you
Hi. Thanks for the pattern. Do you have any gauge for this?
No, sorry!!
My hat was to big and I’m only on 18. It the circumference that is to big
