Diana Beanie Free Crochet Pattern – Diana Is Back Again

That’s right everyone, Diana is back! And I’m not just talking about the new writer on Wonder Woman who is fantastic and means I get to buy Wonder Woman comics again (although that is totally true). Nope, I’m talking about my Diana Line that I’ve added things here and there over the years and maybe some day you’ll be able to decorate your whole home in Diana themed crochet… that would be a bit much, though, right? I’m not at all planning anything like that or thinking about Diana Pillows, Diana Baskets, Diana Slipper-Socks, or a Diana Owl… nope, not at all 😉

One of my favorite things about that Diana Line is how simple the stitch combination but how great the textures are. And this slouchy beanie is no different, you can add as much or as little slouch as you want by adding more rows to the pattern. For my sample in the 22″ size, I stopped when the hat got just a bit over 9″, which is a good slouch length (in my opinion).

Other than making lots of crochet things and always thinking about what to make, I’m pretty boring here. I had a fun Halloween giving out candy at my new place – we got so many trick-or-treaters! A ton more kids came through than where we lived last year and sadly we were not prepared for all of them. Next year, now that we know, we will be very ready!

How was your Halloween?

Rnds 13 – 28 (36): repeat rnds 5 – 12, 2 (3) more times
Fasten off leaving a long tail, which you will use to close up rnd 28 (36).
If you’d like a slouchier hat, feel free to add more repeats of rnds 5 – 12.

– Closing –
Flip your hat inside out so that the wrong side is facing you and with your needle, weave your tail back and forth through every other stitch on rnd 28 (36) until you go all the way around the rnd. Pull your yarn tight until the hole in the center is as closed as it can be. You may need to sew the hole closed further.

Fasten off, weave in your ends. Optional: add a pom-pom to this end.

– Band –
Rnd 1: Flip your hat around so that you’re working along the other side of the original chain row. Create a slipknot on your hook and sc into each st around, slip st into the first st – 80 (88) sc
Rnds 2 – 5: Ch 1 (does not count as a stitch here and throughout the band), sc into the same st as join, *sc BLO into the next st, sc into the next st, sc BLO into the next st,* repeat from * to * 38 (42) more times, slip st into the first st -80 (88) sc
Fasten off, weave in your ends.

Tada! There’s a new one for the Diana Line and I really hope you like it. It’s a super simple hat that I made in no time at all and wears really well.
See ya next week!
