Start with a foun­da­tion chain and work your way up, cre­at­ing the foun­da­tion row for your hat. You’ll repeat rows of basic cro­chet stitch­es like sin­gle cro­chet, half dou­ble cro­chet, and dou­ble cro­chet to build the hat’s height. Through­out the tuto­r­i­al, we’ll show you how to increase or decrease the num­ber of stitch­es to achieve the per­fect fit for the hat, ensur­ing it’s an adult medi­um size.

One key ele­ment in cro­chet­ing a hat is the height. Depend­ing on your pref­er­ence, you can make a slouchy hat or a more fit­ted beanie. We’ll pro­vide instruc­tions for both options.
