Crochet Reversible Tapered Beanie Or Cuffed Hat

Crocheting this hat not only hones your skills but also results in a fashionable accessory that keeps you warm and stylish. The reversible nature means you get two hats in one, making it a practical and creative addition to your wardrobe.

Tip:
Choose two contrasting yarn colors to maximize the visual impact and versatility of your reversible hat.

Materials:

• Arcane Fiber Works yarn (2 hats can be made)
• Tape measure
• Stitch markers (4 for cuffed hat, at least 2 for beanie)
• Crochet hooks (Size recommended on yarn label or standard hook sizes for the yarn weight)
• Large-eye blunt tip yarn needle
• Scissors
• Removable pom-pom (optional)

Sizes:

• Child (5 to 10 years)
• Up to Men’s XL (with various intermediate sizes)
• Custom fit based on head height and circumference

Pattern Overview:

Start with a Chain:

• How many chains depend on the custom fit based on head height and circumference measurements. Subtract 2 inches from the head circumference for the chain length.

Setup Row (Right Side):

• Half-double crochet (HDC) in second chain from the hook, HDC across to last six chains, single crochet (SC) in each remaining chain.

Row 1 (Wrong Side):

• Chain 1, turn; SC through both loops of the first SC and SC in the back loop only of the next five SCs, HDC in the back loop only of each remaining stitch to the last, HDC through both loops of the last stitch.

Row 2 (Right Side):

• Chain 1, turn; HDC through both loops of the first HDC and HDC in the back loop only until last six stitches, SC in the back loop only of the next five stitches, SC through both loops of the last stitch.

Repeat Rows 1 and 2:

• Continue working these rows, ending on a Row 1 (Wrong Side), until the piece measures the adjusted head circumference.

Joining:

• With right sides together, slip stitch the sides together from the back loop to the back loop.

Band/Cuff (Setup Round):

• Connect yarn and SC around the bottom edge of the hat, spacing out SCs evenly based on whether you are creating a band or cuff (more SC for cuff for extra stretch).

Band (Continue in Rounds):

For band only:

• SC in the back loop only in each stitch around, slip stitch to begin the next round, no chaining up.

Cuff (Next Round):

For cuff version only:

• SC in the front loop only in each stitch around for one round.

Cuff (Subsequent Rounds):

• SC in the back loop only in each stitch around like the band.

Finalizing Band/Cuff:

• Continue until desired height is achieved, use the tail from the beginning to cinch the top of the hat closed.

Finishing:

• Secure and weave in all ends.
