(total of 40 dc)

Row 2:

Ch 2. Dc in the blo of every st across. Turn. 

Row 3:

Ch 2. Dc in the flo of every st across. Turn. 

Rows 4-23(25):

Repeat rows 2-3 ten(eleven) more times. 

Row 24(26):

Repeat row 2 once more. Do not fasten off. 

Fold piece in half, right sides together, lining up beginning ch with ending row. Ch 1 and then sc evenly through both sides to join. You should have a total of 40 sc. Fasten off leaving about a 12 inch tail. 

Place ending tail on your needle, and then weave in and out of the end of every row. Pull ending tail tight to close top of hat. 

Your beginning tail and ending tail should end up in the same spot. Use both tails and knot off a few time to seure. Now weave in these ends together.

Add your pompom if you choose! 

I did do a short "Crochet With Me" Facebook Live last night on how I make this beanie. You can find that video to watch the replay here.
