My finished bear beanie. I named her Bacon. |
I made a little friend for her too. Her name is Evelyn. Her ears are lopsided. |
Bacon and Evelyn together |
Tips:
1. As this tutorial is for a baby beanie, the size is smaller than what i need. Therefore, i use medium (#4) yarn with a J/10-6.00MM hook instead of the smaller hook.
2. After the magic circle, I make 10 single crochets instead of the 6 that she did.
3. For the ears and muzzle, i keep with the 6 single crochets in the beginning and follow the same pattern in the video, nothing change, only with the bigger hook (J hook).
4. Here is the pattern. It's easier for me to look at it as a whole instead of following the step-by-step in the video.
Magic Circle
Round 1: 10 single-crochets, slip stitch at the end
Round 2: 2-single-crochets in every stitch, slip stitch at the end (0 single crochet in between)
Round 3: 2-single-crochet/ 1-single-crochet/ 2-single-crochet/ follow the pattern, slip stitch at the end (1 single-crochet in between)
Round 4:2-single-crochet/ 1-single-crochet/ 1-single-crochet/ 2-single-crochet/ follow the pattern, slip stitch at the end (2 single-crochet in between)
Round 5: 2/ 1 / 1 / 1 / 2 / 1 / 1 / 1 /follow the pattern, slip stitch at the end (3 single-crochet in between)
Can you kind of see the pattern now? It started out with all single crochets in the first round, then double the crochets in each stitch on the second round, then each round after that, you just add one more single crochet in between each 2-single-crochet per stitch, (until round 9 that is)
Round 6: 2/ 1 / 1 / 1 / 1 / 2 / follow the pattern, slip stitch at the end (4 single-crochet in between)
Round 7:2/ 1 / 1 / 1 / 1 / 1 / 2 / follow the pattern, slip stitch at the end (5 single-crochet in between)
Round 8:2/ 1 / 1 / 1 / 1 / 1 / 1 / 2 / follow the pattern, slip stitch at the end (6 single-crochet in between)
Round 9:2/ 1 / 1 / 1 / 1 / 1 / 1/ 1/ 2 / follow the pattern, slip stitch at the end (7 single-crochet in between)
---> For a bigger head, add more rounds here
Round 10: 6 single-crochet/ 2-single-crochet/ 26 single-crochet/ 2-single-crochet/ single-crochet till the end, slip stitch at the end
Round 11: 10 single-crochet/ 2-single-crochet/ 28 single-crochet/ 2-single-crochet/ single-crochet till the end, slip stitch at the end
Round 12: 20 single-crochet/ 2-single-crochet/ 30 single-crochet/ 2-single-crochet/ single-crochet till the end, slip stitch at the end
Round 13 and after: single-crochet in every stitch, slip stitch at the end of each round.
5. Make sure you measure your head for a perfect fit. For a smaller head (like mine), you can skip round 9 and move on to round 10. For a bigger head, you can continue to add more rounds in between 9 and 10 by adding 8, 9,10,... single crochet in between each 2-single-crochet stitch.
