Introduction

In this tutorial, I will show you how to crochet an ombre slouchy beanie using the linen stitch. This is a simple and easy pattern that is perfect for showcasing the ombre or gradient effect in your yarn. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced crocheter, you can create this stylish hat by following the step-by-step instructions provided. So, let's gather our materials and get started!

Materials Needed

To make the ombre slouchy beanie, you will need the following materials:

• Skein of Lion Brand Shawl in a Ball yarn (restful rainbow color)
• Clover Amore hook, size H (5mm)
• Scissors
• Yarn needle
• Stitch marker
• Measuring tape or ruler

Making a Magic Ring

To begin the hat, we will start by making a magic ring. Leave a longer tail than usual, as it will be helpful when closing up the top later. To make a large magic ring, wrap the yarn around four fingers. Finish the ring by chaining one.

Round 1: Single Crochets

In round 1, make one single crochet in the ring. Mark this stitch with a stitch marker, as we will be marking the first stitch of each round. Continue working single crochets into the ring until you have a total of 42 single crochets completed. If you are making a different size, refer to the written pattern for the appropriate stitch counts.

Round 2: Single Crochets and Chain 1

Remove the stitch marker from the first stitch of round 2. Make one single crochet in that stitch and then replace the stitch marker. Chain one. In the next stitch, make one single crochet and chain one. Continue this pattern of one single crochet and one chain one in each stitch around. Round 2 should end with a single crochet in the last stitch and a chain one.

Round 3: Single Crochets and Chain 1

For round 3, remove the stitch marker and skip the first single crochet. Insert your hook into the first chain space and make one single crochet. Replace the stitch marker and chain one. Skip the next single crochet and make one single crochet in the next chain space. Chain one. Repeat this pattern of one single crochet and one chain one in each chain space around. The round should end with a single crochet in the final chain space and a chain one.

Repeat Round 3

Continue repeating round 3 until you have completed a total of 48 rounds, or refer to the written pattern for the required number of rounds for your desired size. You can close up the magic ring whenever you feel comfortable, but it is recommended to wait until you have completed several rounds to make it easier to see your stitches.

Closing the Magic Ring

To close the magic ring, start by pulling on the tail to tighten it. Be careful not to pull too hard and break the tail. Once you can't close it any further, thread the yarn needle onto the tail. Working your way around the ring, go under a few stitches at a time and pull the tail to tighten. Repeat until the hole is completely closed. Weave in the end to secure it.

Finishing Off the Hat

Once you have completed all the required rounds, it's time to finish off the hat. Cut the yarn, leaving a small tail, and pull it up through the stitch. Thread the yarn needle and skip the chain space. Make an invisible join by inserting the needle into the next single crochet, then back into the top of the previous stitch. Pull it tight and weave in the ends. Your ombre slouchy beanie is now complete!
