Lincoln Beanie - Free crochet pattern



Good morning beautiful people.

I hope the start to your day has been gentle. Today I have a sweet little hat pattern for you that takes all of 10 minutes to whip up. It will fit 14-16 weeks gestation and used only a very tiny amount of yarn. Perfect for the scraps of special colours left over from bigger projects. It is only 6 rounds in total, so a very easy take along project. When you make the colour changes, I find it easier to drop the main colour and pick up the contrasting, rather than cutting the main and having to rejoin it.

You will need:
3.5mm hook
DK/8ply/light worsted weight 3 yarn in a main and contrasting colour

1: ch3, dc in the first chain 8 times, join
2: ch3, dc twice in each stitch around, join.
3: ch3, dc in each stitch around, join.
4: change to contrasting colour, ch1, sc in each stitch around, join.
5: change to main colour, ch3, dc in each stitch around, join.
6: change to contrasting colour, ch1, sc in each stitch around, join.

End off all colours and weave in tails.

  1. I have just made my first beanie but I AM not sure I have got it right. The hat measures 2 inches high and 3 inches wide when flat, is this about righr? it seems so small.

    1. That's about right Steph, that's how small a bub at 14-16 weeks gestation is. They do look incredibly tiny.
