Little Pumpkin Beanie – Free Crochet Pattern

I crocheted this adorable little pumpkin beanie and I’m sharing the pattern with you!

This pattern is size 6M to 12M, and uses front post double crochets (fpdc), double crochets (dc), single crochets (sc), and slip stitch (sl st).  It works in rounds to form the beanie.  It has 5 components:  beanie, stem, leaf, vine, and flower.

Use light weight yarn (weight 3 “light”) in pumpkin orange, soft green, and soft white; and Hook Size H:

Beanie

Using orange yarn, start a magic ring.

Round 1:  Ch 3 (counts as first dc), 15 dc into magic ring and tighten the loop closed.  Continue on to Round 2.

Round 2:  1 fpdc in every dc (15 sts)

Round 3:  1 fpdc in fpdc from previous round below, 1 dc in next sp.  Repeat [1 fpdc, 1 dc], for a total 30 sts.

Round 4:  1 fpdc in fpdc from previous round below, 2 dc in next sp.  Repeat [1 fpdc, 2 dc] for a total of 45 sts.

Rounds 5-17:  1 fpdc in fpdc from previous round below, 3 dc in next sp.  Repeat [1 fpdc, 3 dc] for a total of 60 sts each round.  Sl st into next st.

Scallop Edge:  *Sk next st, 6 dc into next st, sk next st, sl st into next* Repeat * all around beanie.  You should end up with 16 cute little scallops.  (See photo below.)
