Specifications
Yarn
x1 hanks of our Citizen Wolf Recycled yarn (10Ply/Aran).
Each hank is 100g/170m; the finished beanie requires between 80–90g/136–155m, depending on your chosen size and length. This yarn is a wool/cotton blend.
Hook
A 5.00mm Clover Amour/Soft Touch Crochet hook.
We strongly recommend using Clover hooks with our yarn. Their tapering heads and broad, blunt lips make for a much easier ride when working with a thicker yarn of many plies and a high cotton content– which can get splitty if the hook's lip is too sharp
Notions
You will need at least one stitch marker to keep track of where each round begins, and ideally a wool/tapestry needle to sew in your yarn ends (you can use your crochet hook to do this but it's cleaner and easier with a needle).

Pattern
This pattern uses US crochet terminology. 🇺🇸
Throughout the pattern we'll use colour–coded crochet charts to illustrate stitch configurations. If you're unfamiliar with using charts, please refer to the 'Skills' chart key above.

| Round 1 | Create a magic ring work 6 single crochets into the ring close the ring by pulling the tail |
= 6 |
Rounds are worked continuously; insert a stitch marker in the first stich of each round to keep track of where it began– so you know where to stop once you’ve worked the full round.
| Round 2 | work 2 single crochets into each of the next 6 stitches, chain 1 | = 13 |
| Round 3 | [single crochet into the next stitch, chain 1] repeat [this] sequence 11 more times |
= 24 |
| Round 4 | [Single crochet into the next chain space, chain 1] repeat [this] sequence 11 more times |
= 24 |
‘Chain spaces’ are the gaps we created by adding a chain between each single crochet in the previous round.
| Round 5 | [Single crochet into the next chain space, chain 1, Single crochet into the next chain space, chain 1, Single crochet into the SAME chain space, chain 1] repeat [this] sequence 5 more times |
= 36 |
| Round 6 | [*Single crochet into the next chain space, chain 1* repeat *this* sequence 2 more times, Single crochet into the SAME chain space, chain 1] repeat [this] sequence 5 more times |
= 48 |
| Round 7 | [Single crochet into the next chain space, chain 1] repeat [this] sequence 23 more times |
= 48 |
| Round 8 | [Single crochet into the next chain space, chain 1] repeat [this] sequence 23 more times |
= 48 |
| Offset | Single crochet into the next chain space, chain 1 | = 2 |
This extra repeat will shift the beginning of the next round forward, so that all increases in the upcoming round align with those in the previous rounds; creating a more symmetrical dome shape at the top of the beanie.
If you’re using a stitch marker, place it in the chain space after this single crochet to mark where the next round now begins.

From here, the pattern differs depending on which size you want to make. The medium size should fit a head circumference of 55–60cm, while the large size should fit a head circumference of 60–65cm.

Continue working each subsequent round like this until you achieve your desired beanie height:
 |
SHALLOW CAP +15 more rounds (33 rounds in total) |
 |
STANDARD HEIGHT +30 more rounds (48 rounds in total) |

TO FINISH
when you come to the end of your final round, we recommend finishing with a faux stitch finish. See tutorial video for a demonstration of how to complete this.
