Notes and Tips

This pattern is written using US crochet terms
The number in {curly brackets} at the end of each row is the stitch count after finishing that row
Italicized notes tell you what to change to adjust the size
The chain 3 at the beginning of each round DOES count as a double crochet
The slip stitch at the end of each round goes into the top of the chain 3 from the beginning of that round
The first cluster of every new round goes into the space right at the base of the turning chain
The last rep in Rounds 2-3 will go into the first space of that round

Foundation: Make a magic ring or make a slipknot, ch4, sl st to 1st ch to form a ring

Round 1: ch3, dc2 into ring, rep[ch1, dc3 into ring] 2 times, ch1, sl st {3 cl}

The last rep in Rounds 2-3 will go into the first space of that round.

Rounds 2-3: ch3, dc2 into sp below, rep[ch1, (dc3, ch1,* dc3) into next sp] around ending last rep at *, sl st {6 cl, 12 cl}

Round 4: ch3, dc2 into sp below, rep[ch1, dc3 into next sp] around, ch1, sl st {12 cl}

The next round determines the size of your beanie. The more clusters by the end of the round, the bigger the beanie will be. Round 5 is written for a small size. See the note below for a medium or large size.

Round 5: ch3, dc2 into sp below, rep[ch1, (dc3, ch1, dc3) into next sp, ch1,* dc3 into next sp] around ending last rep at *, sl st {18 cl}

Note: If you want a medium beanie, add an extra cluster to one of the spaces that only has one cluster {19 cl}. For a large beanie, add an extra cluster to two opposite spaces that only have one cluster {20 cl}.
