Easy Tunisian Beanie

Currently, I don’t know how to knit. I actually tried learning how to knit before I learned how to crochet. For some reason I just could not grasp holding two needles together. I wanted to learn because I love the look of knitted pieces.

Maybe some day I will learn, but for now I am happy with the look of this Tunisian crochet beanie.

If you have never tried Tunisian crochet, you have to! It looks harder then it is, I promise! The Tunisian Knit stitch looks exactly like a traditional knit stitch. The body of this beanie is crocheted using only this type of stitch. The band is crocheted using both the Tunisian Knit stitch and Purl stitch. These are the only two types of stitches you will need to know to crochet this beanie.

This beanie is extremely beginner friendly. I would recommend watching the video tutorials below before you start. They are very helpful in showing the different stitches and how to bind off.

I hope you enjoy this pattern!

Bind off leaving a long enough tail to sew short sides of the beanie together.

To bind off : The bind off in Tunisian crochet is similar to how you work slip stitches in traditional crochet. To Bind Off, insert hook under the next vertical bar from right to left, yarn over and pull up a loop through both the vertical bar and the loop on hook. Watch video tutorial above.

What your work will look like after 31 rows.

Line up short sides and sew together.

SEW

Next, attach yarn to a slip stitch at the top of the beanie. Thread a needle and weave the needle in and out of each ss until you reach the beginning. Pull to tighten and fasten.

I made my own faux fur pom-pom. If you would like to make your own you can follow the video tutorial HERE.

If you love a knit look like me, I really hope you try this pattern!
