Introducing the Lux Hat, a beautiful hat crochet pattern with subtle texture.
It’s made using 100 % hand dyed merino yarn from Joy of Motion Yarn.
The beanie can be used in 2 different ways:
- On the right side.
- On the wrong side.
Honestly I love all both!
This is the perfect hat if you love using variegated hand dyed yarn, as it uses our Favorite DK yarn.

The Yarn
To design this crochet beanie, I used our Favorite DK yarn, a super soft 100 % superwash merino yarn.
I used the color Dypt Hav, that shows off the deepest blue sea color, but looks like luxury & is variegated at the same time.

How Long Does It Take To Crochet That?
How long it takes to crochet something varies depending on your skill & how fast you crochet. But that isn’t a helpful answer is it?
Well, I’ve developed a yarn calculator to help you get the answer to this question.
It will help you calculate exactly how much time you’ll spend crocheting a project.
All you need to know is how much yarn you will use on the project in either meters, yards or skeins. Then crochet your test square & time it.

Stitches You Will Need
FOUNDATION SINGLE CROCHET STITCH (FSC):
Written description:
Step 1: Ch 2 st.
Step 2: Insert hook into 2nd ch from hook, pull up a loop. Yo and pull through first loop (making “chain”). Yo and pull through both loops on hook.
Step 3: Insert hook into previous “chain” you made (It should look like you go through a resemblance of a “normal” st, with 2 strands of yarn), pull up a loop, yo and pull through first loop (making “chain”). Yo and pull through both loops on hook.
Repeat step 3 until you’ve made enough stitches. *2nd ch in step 1 makes 1 st, step 2 makes 1 st & every time step 3 is repeated you make 1 st.
Tutorial:
Foundation Single Crochet Stitch
Crochet Lux Hat Pattern Instructions
Make 119 st using the FSC method, sl st in 1st st.
Round 1: Ch 2 (counts as 1st st) hdc 1 in each st, sl st in 2nd ch from beg of round (=119 st).
From now you will work in spiral, without ending rounds.
Place stitch marker in first stitch on row 2 & keep moving it each round to easily identify the first stitch of each round.
Note: The first stitch on round 2 is made in the same place as sl st from round 1.
Round 2-59*: *Hdc 1 in next st, sl st 1 in next st*, repeat from *to* until you have crocheted 59 rounds (=119 st).
*This means that from round 3, the slip stitches will be crocheted in hdc stitches from previous round, and hdc stitches will be crocheted in slip stitches.
Round 60-61: *Sl st in next st, sk 1 st* repeat from *to* until you have finished 2 rounds (= 30 st after finishing 2 rounds).
Fasten off & cut yarn leaving yarn tail to finish the beanie.
