The Lucille Beanie Pattern is on my blog for FREE at the link listed above, however if you would like to purchase an AD Free, Premium, Printable PDF of this pattern, you can do so in my Ravelry Store!

This beanie is crocheted from the bottom up in the round.
Although this beanie is crocheted in the round, you will be turning at the end of each round. This helps hide the back seam AND this is also what makes every other round look raised. If you do not turn at the end of the round (after the SL ST into the first stitch of the round), your beanie will not have the same texture and look as the beanies pictured.

The ribbing of this beanie is crocheted in both loops. The main beanie is crocheted in BLO. If the pattern does not specify which loops to crochet into, crochet into both loops.

If you want to use a different yarn besides Yarn Bee’s Soft and Sleek, I suggest either Premier’s Everyday Yarn or Loops and Threads Impeccable, these both are great substitutes and can be found at your local Michael’s and/or Joann’s.

This pattern is formatted with parenthesis (). When you come across instructions with parenthesis in them, that means they will have to be done more than once. After the last parenthesis, you will be told how many times to do that instruction. For example: (CH 1. SK NEXT HDC. DC IN NEXT HDC.) 6 times. You would do the instructions in the parenthesis 6 times before moving on to the next instruction!

The Berry Stitch used in this pattern is actually a variation and makes the stitch a little bulkier. If you have used the Berry Stitch in another pattern, it might be different in this one. Make sure to look over the instructions in “Special Stitches” so you get the same effect seen in my pictures!
