• Step 1

  For the band:
  Row 1- chain 7 (if you want a wider band you can do more than seven i just think sevens enough)
  Row 2- single crochet in the back loops of your chains
  Row 3 to desired length- repeat row 2

  When desired length is aquired fasten off and stich both ends of the band together to form it :)

  I repeated row two untill i had 18 inches of band...that seemed to fit (for a slouchy beanie)

• Step 2

  Crown Base:
  Attach your yarn to the top of one side of your band
  Single crochet in every kinda...opening...in the band, 77 single crochets

• Step 3

  Crown:

  *IMPORTANT* Remember to ALWAYS skip the first link/chain in your row. This creates a gradual sloping motion, so that when you wear it (the slope being at the top) the top neatly curves down xD

  Row 1 to 5- Chain 3 *double crochet* repeat*
  Row 6- Chain 3 *Double crochet 4, Decrease* repeat*
  Row 7 to 11- Chain 3 *double crochet* repeat*
  Row 12- Chain 3 *Double crochet 4, Decrease* repeat*
  Row 13 to 17- Chain 3 *double crochet* repeat*
  Row 18- Chain 3 *Double crochet 4, Decrease* repeat*
  ...
  You get the idea...
  Five rows of chain 3 *double crochet* repeat*, & one row of chain 3 {4 double crochet, 1 decrease} repeat! easy...i hope ;P

  Repeat this until you cant crochet anymore!
  Fasten off YAY UR DONE

Could you make a video for this? Not the whole thing obviously, if it took two hours, but yeah.

Hi, I love this! Am digging at my yarn stash and starting it now. I have a deceptively huge head, but I think I'll do it to the size you did anyway and maybe it'll stay on more easily. I'll let y'all know about the sizing for man sized heads (no seriously) .

how much yarn do you need? Could you give me the full name of the stiches? This is going to be an excellent Christmas gift But it is for a 10 year old so do maybe I need to make it a bit smaller around the head? xx

Well...I don't really know how much yarn I used but you can make it with one standard ball or yarn! Yeah I would make it a bit smaller, if I'm wearing mine for a whole day I have to boby pin it on...so I would make it a bit smaller xD
And yes, I'll put the full name in for the stitches ;)
