My First Unicorn Beanie!

I had so much fun making this beanie! I hope to have the pattern down soon!

Basic Beanie Pattern

Hello all! Just wanted to share my basic beanie design with you, this is the base i use for most beanie patterns. This pattern works great for any teen to adult sizes. Makes sure to check your gauge before starting the pattern. I can not STRESS how important that is when starting any pattern. It will save you time and little bit of you sanity. Anyways let's proceed:

WHAT YOU WILL NEED: 
-Worsted Weight Yarn
- H Hook
- Scissors
- Yarn Needle or Small Hook (For finishing and hiding strings)

TERMS/STITCHES YOU WILL NEED TO KNOW:
sl st - slip stitch
ch - chain
sc - single crochet
hdc - half double crochet
hdc inc - half double crochet increase
dc - double crochet
dc inc - double crochet increase


GAUGE:
Hdc with H hook
10 stitches across by 4 rows = 3in x 2in

Doesn't measure up?
Too small = Go up a hook size until it matches the gauge.
Too Big = Go down a hook sizing until it matches the gauge.

NOTES:
- The number after the stitch is how many you should stitch.
-When starting a new row, I use "sc, ch 1," for a dc, when starting a new row instead of the typical "ch 2 or 3"

Allonz!

-- Row 1: Start with a magic circle or ch 1 (make sure to work in the middle of either), sc, ch 1, dc 11, sl st in the middle of the ch 1 to join; [12]
-- Row 2: sc, ch 1, dc in the same st, dc inc in each st around, sl st to the middle of the ch 1 to join; [24]
-- Row 3: sc, ch 1, dc in the same st, dc, *dc inc, dc,* repeat until the end, sl st in the middle of ch 1 to join; [36]
-- Row 4: sc, ch 1, dc in the same st, dc 2, *dc inc, dc 2,* repeat until the end, sl st in the middle of ch 1 to join; [48]
-- Row 5: sc, hdc in each st around, sl st in the middle of the top of the sc to join; [48]
-- Row 6: sc, hdc in the same st, hdc 3, *hdc inc, hdc 3,* repeat until the end, sl st in the middle of the top of the sc to join; [60]

-- Row 8: sc, hdc in the same st, hdc 9, *hdc inc, hdc 9,* repeat until the end, sl st in the middle of the top of the sc to join; [66]
-- Row 9-16: sc, hdc in each st around, sl st in the middle of the top of the sc to join; [66]

Long Time...No Post! Update on Life!

Hello everyone out there in the world wide web! 

Not sure how long it has been since my last post but I know it's been years...

So after the move, the etsy store didn't work out (various outside forces), and ended up getting a full time job. Well that ended a couple of months ago. Today I had an interview for a part time position with Joann's Fabric and I got the job! So I'm going to still try and get this going! I truly believe that this is something I can accomplish, especially when most of my jobs I've had in my life are all connected to this. I have many patterns I plan to add, along with starting a YouTube channel. I want to share my tips, tricks and techniques in the many projects that I take on! But If anyone needs any help with crochet just ask away! 

Much <3,

Rachell
