The Vertical Chevron Beanie Crochet Pattern uses 2 skeins of Caron X Pantone Yarn by Yarnspirations. Have you seen this yarn yet?? It can be found at your local Michaels Stores and comes in MANY gorgeous colors! It is a bulky #5 yarn and is super soft. I do not recommend using any other yarn for this pattern. It is written specifically for the Caron X Pantone Yarn.

I am not endorsed by Caron Yarn, Yarnspirations, or Michaels Stores. I have purchased this yarn with my own money and wrote the pattern because I loved the feel and different colors.

This beanie is a complex pattern that uses 8 colors at once. Experience with graph patterns will help. Be careful to count your stitches and make sure you are working the correct color to get the chevron. Color graph is included for guidance to see the chevrons, each box counts as 1 stitch. The PDF pattern includes a diagram to show where to join and which way each row is working.

Each row is TURNED on the body of the beanie. This prevents having to carry the yarn throughout the whole row beanie. Carrying yarn is also known as crocheting over the yarn, which is a technique often used in graph patterns.

Vertical Chevron Beanie Crochet Pattern by Crochet it Creations

Project Level

Materials Needed

• Caron X Pantone 2 Skeins
• I 5.5 mm crochet hook
• K 6.5 mm crochet hook
• Scissors
• Tapestry Needle
• 4 Stitch Markers

Gauge

• 4” square = 16 Rows x 14 SC with K hook

Stitches/Abbreviations (U.S. Terms)

• Sc – single crochet
• Join – slip stitch to first stitch
• Sl st – slip stitch
• WS – Wrong Side
• RS – Right Side

Pattern Notes

• Beginning chain does NOT count as a stitch
• Pattern is for adult size measuring 11”W x 8.5”H laying flat.
• 1 color is used for brim with the remaining 4 used for the hat, which will be divided in half. So, you have 8 colors to work the body of the hat all at once, like a graph. Roll the colors up in a ball or place around bobbins.
• Each color will use 9 stitches on each round to get the vertical chevrons. If you want bigger or smaller hat, you will need to increase or decrease pattern by 8.
• You will be moving the colors right or left by 2 stitches at the beginning of each row to get the vertical chevron look. Carry your yarn (crocheting over it) with these 2 stitches.
• You must turn on each row to keep the dropped yarn from previous row lined up when switching colors.
• Change colors – complete all but last step of last stitch in previous color. Drop that color on last step, pick up new color and complete the stitch. Do not finish off on each color, just drop the strand behind your work. You will need to move the skeins and untangle as you work.
• See graph & chart for visual of color changes and pattern clarification
• See pages 10-11 for printer friendly pattern without the photos

Using color of preference and I 5.5 mm hook: Chain 8

Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook and across (7) turn

Row 2-58: ch 1, sc in BLO across (7) turn

Slip stitch brim together to make a circle going through BLO of last row in each stitch and chain. Finish off.

Now using the remaining 4 colors, divide each color evenly. You will be working with all 8 colors at the same time.

Turn brim horizontal to work across the ends of the rows placing stitches evenly around. Tip to get 72 evenly around brim: place stitch markers every ¼ around the brim. You will place 18 stitches, or 2 colors between each stitch marker.

Using K 6.5mm Crochet hook. Join to side of the row where brim was joined together.

Rnd 1 (RS): ch 1, sc 72 times in the brim changing colors every 9 stitches. (9 sc of each color x 8 colors = 72) Join (72) TURN
