The pattern follows a similar design to the famous Bernie Sanders mittens Bernie wore at the 2021 inauguration.

This is an adult sized hat.

The beanie uses tapestry crochet and the waistcoat stitch to create a knit style look.

The hat is worked from the bottom up and measures approx. 10” wide at the base of the hat, 9” tall and 8.5” across the crown.

You will need to know how to:

• Split stitch single crochet (also called waistcoat stitch)
• Work in third loops only
• Work in back loops only
• Read a color chart
• Change colors
• Decrease

Materials needed:

• Tapestry needle
• Size I, 5.5 mm crochet hook
• Medium worsted weight yarn (size 4) in brown, ivory, white, black, gray and navy

The design matches perfectly with my crochet Bernie mitten pattern to make a nice set:
