Special stitches

hdc in 3rd loop = instead of working crochet stitches in top loops of the previous round, you should find a 3rd loop on the wrong side/back side of the crochet piece. This 3rd loop is located on the wrong side just under the top 2 loops. Start to make a half double crochet stitch as normal. When inserting hook into the loop in the previous row, just skip the top 2 loops and turn a crochet piece forward and insert the hook in the 3rd loop, Finish the stitch as normal.

Notes:

Beg ch 1 does not count as a stitch.
This beanie works from the bottom up.
Can be adjusted to any size. Crochet multiple of 6 rows for the band part to get your desired circumference.
