I crocheted David a beanie the other day, but I was worried that it wouldn't be quite warm enough for the winter. I decided it needed a lining, so here's what I did.
Chain 4 and join to make a circle
Rnd 1: Ch 1, 10 SC in circle. Join with slip stitch (10 SC total)
Rnd 2: Ch 1, 2 SC in each stitch around. Join with Sl St (20 SC total)
Rnd 3: Ch 1, * 1 SC in each of the next 2 St's, 2 SC in the next St, repeat from *, join with Sl St. You'll be increasing every 3 stitches. (27 SC total)
Rnd 4: Ch 1, 1 SC in each St around, join with Sl St, (27 SC total)
Rnd 5: repeat Rnd 3, this time you'll have a total of 36 SC
Rnd 6: repeat Rnd 4, this time you'll have 36 SC total
Rnd 7: repeat Rnd 3 (48 SC total)
Rnd 8: repeat Rnd 4 (48 SC total)
Rnd 9: repeat Rnd 3 (sorry I stopped counting)
Rnd 10: repeat Rnd 4
Rnd 11: repeat Rnd 3
Rnd 12-33: repeat Rnd 4
(The hat will look narrow, but it stretches)
Also, I used 4-ply worsted weight yarn (it seemed a bit thinner than usual though)
I used a size I crochet hook, and the hat fits a head about 19 inches around. To adjust sized, just do more or less increases (repeats of Rnd 3 and 4). Then just repeat Rnd 4 til its the length you want. Good Luck!

LOVE this idea! I am always looking to spice up a simple thing and the lining on the inside gives it an extra bit of love! thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteVery nice, thanks for sharing. I know several people, myself included, who will be getting a toasty lined hat this winter.
ReplyDeleteWhat fabric did you use for the lining? I find fleece a bit bulky.
