The crochet Winter Seashore hat was made with a yarn from Patons called Alpaca Blend. The color used on the beanie pictured is the color called Celestial.
What’s so great about the Alpaca Blend yarn is the fact that it is yarn weight 5, but doesn’t feel to thick. It’s still great to work with.
It’s also really soft & warm, which makes it a pleasure to use & wear.
Picture showing this amazing yarn from when I designed the Polus Cardigan.

Note that measurements are given as exact as possible. But crochet tension & technique might give variations in the result, that changes from person to person.
Read pattern instructions carefully before beginning to make sure you understand everything. It might save you hours frogging your work & crocheting it again!
Make a swatch that measure at least 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4 inches using the stitch the gauge is given for. If your swatch matches the gauge, you’re good to go. If the gauge is wrong, you might need to change your hook. Go up in crochet hook size if your stitches are smaller & go down in crochet hook size if your stitches are bigger. Learn more about testing gauge.
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 prev “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.
Yo, insert your hook from front to back between the prev st & the st you’re working, & bring it to the front again between the st you’re working & the next st, yo & pull up a loop, you have 3 loops on the hook, yo & pull through 2 of the 3 loops, yo and pull through the 2 last loops.

Row 1: Ch 2 (counts as 1st st), dc 1 in all st until end of row, turn (= 76 st).

Row 6: Ch 2 (counts as 1st st), *hdc 1 in ch-space, ch 1, sk 1 st*, repeat from *to* until you have 1 st left, hdc in last st, turn (= 76 st).
Row 7 – 27: Repeat row 6 until you have crocheted 27 rows.
Fasten off & cut yarn.
Finishing
With the wrong side facing. With a needle, seam the side of the beanie, with the yarn tail you left after cutting the yarn.
Still working with the needle, pull through the top of every third ch-space on the top of the hat with the same yarn tail, in a way that makes it possible to pull tight after going through those rows.
