More about the pattern.

This Ocean Shades Beanie is designed for 2-5 years babies using Red Heart Soft yarns. If you use Red Heart Super Saver Yarns you will get the child size. I like to thank Cindy Stewart for testing the pattern. She did a great job. 🙂 Thank you, Cindy!

As the name of this pattern is Ocean Shades you need 3 colors of blue shades or 3 matching colors to your choice. Do not forget to select 3 colors to get the same look of this pattern. 🙂

I know this pattern has some unclear points so I added lots of step by step photos. I hope you enjoy the pattern.

Skil level: Intermediate

Finished size: (2-5 yrs)

• Hat height = 7.25”
• Hat circumference = 17”-18”
• Crown circle diameter (round 1 – 8) = 6”

Materials

#4-Medium / Worsted  in 3 colors (Approx: 135 total yards)

I used

• Red Heart Soft in 3 colors 45 yards from each White, Turquoise , Navy (Amazon affiliate)
• I-9 / 5.5mm crochet hook
• Tapestry needle for weaving ends

Gauge: 13 hdc x 9 rows = 4″ with I-9 / 5.5mm crochet hook.

Abbreviations

• ch = chain
• sl st = slip stitch
• sc = single stitch
• hdc = half double crochet
• dc = double crochet
• st = stitch
• sk = skip
• beg = beginning
• (C1) = color 1 (white)
• (C2) = color 2 (light blue)
• (C3) = color3 (dark blue)
• *to = repeat * to the instructions.

Special stitches

• Shell-1 = ch 2, 2 hdc in next st.
• Shell-2 = ch 2, 2 hdc in indicated (chain space).
• Shell-3 = ch 3, 3 dc in indicated (chain space).
• Shell-4 = ch 2, 3 hdc in next st.
• Shell-5 = ch 2, 3 hdc in indicated (chain space).

Notes

• Fasten off when changing colors for a nicer finish for the inside of the hat. Or you can carry each yarn when it needs if you like, because of the weaving ends is lots of work.
• When it says sl st to (chain space), it’s the bolded one in the previous round. Not the ch 2 with shell 1 and 2.
