Texas A&M Beanies

More collegiate requests led to me making an A&M beanie, which was a little odd since I go for their rivals .... UT. But, I was happy to make it anyway....





(Every pattern that I currently have available to download is in Word format and is downloadable on my Scribd. If I do not have a pattern there, then I do not have a downloadable version of it. Please do not e-mail me with requests of patterns, as I most likely will not even check my e-mail. I apologize for this but I have a full-time job now and no longer keep up with the pattern requests. Thanks, and here is the link to my Scribd: https://www.scribd.com/ashley_holden_14)

Beanies
I used my General Beanie Pattern, adding some letter appliques that I had found online (shown below).



Of course, I made a set too....
 (Look at my post Diaper Cover Patterns for more about my diaper covers)

Row 2: Turn, sl st in second chain from hook & each of the next 2, chain 6
Row 3: Turn, sl st in second chain from hook & each of the next 4
Row 4: Sl st in each of the next 4 chains on crossbar, sl st in each of the next 5 chains from foundation chain, release hook from last stitch & turn work, insert hook in last stitch & join with sl st to end of Row 2
Finish off, leaving long end to sew onto beanie.

Beanie

The beanie was made with my General Beanie Pattern, I used I Love This Yarn's Burnt Pumpkin for the main color with a white as a border. (Adding the Longhorn Applique shown below)





Booties

I used the pattern from my previous post Cowboy Boots, just inserting the yarn that I used for this set and putting on a star applique (posted below).

San Antonio Spurs Beanies

I got a custom order for a friend who is a San Antonio Spurs fan, so here is the set I made for her...

(Look at my post Diaper Cover Patterns for more about my diaper covers).

For the beanie, I used my General Hat Pattern with some modifications.....

When finished with beanie, add a stick on or sew on applique S, which you can find at any craft store. But remember that if you iron it on be really careful to check the settings used on your iron (as Acrylic yarn burns), the best bet is to stick it on and then hand sew it on to secure it.


(I always turn my beanies inside out after completing, to use that side as the “right side”, because I feel it always comes out looking better on that side)

***Note on my beanie patterns: I've realized that I had learned the DC stitch wrong, so my beanie pattern was done to the scale of my wrong stitch instead (which is really a long-DC stitch). So, you might want to do long-DC stitches, OR add a row or two to the bottom of the beanie. Also, my "Chain 2" NEVER counts as a DC in any of my patterns.***

Stitch Abbreviations:
CH= Chain
SC= Single Crochet
DC= Double Crochet
SL ST= Slip Stitch
ST= Stitch(es)

You will need size 4 Worsted weight yarn in Black, White, & Grey (I used I Love This Yarn in Black & White, and Lion Brand Vanna's Choice in Heather Grey). I usually use the size H hook on everything, but I also work my stitches pretty tightly. (Just remember that changes hook changes the size of your work)

Start each off beanie with the Black and change colors where directed.

Row 11: SC decrease (1 ST)

Do NOT Finish off, start your Edging/Border here using the same yarn first


Edging/Border

  • It's best when you have added earflaps to do a border in that same color of the earflaps first, and then another border in the contrasting color. This will give you a better looking edge, taking care of any weird gaps caused by different size stitches. So, chain 1 (after last stitch from earflap) & then SC around entire beanie in that same color, join to first SC. Then change to the contrasting color (Ishowed below how I do that) & SC around entire beanie again (make sure that if you are doing Regular Ties, that you do them at the points of the earflaps starting immediately after changing colors for second border)

  • Changing colors: End your last row by starting an SC into last stitch, but do not pull through loops on hook. So with the color your ending: yarn over, insert hook into last stitch, pull up a loop. Then get your second color: yarn over, pull through both loops on hook, slip stitch to first SC of round. Color change complete! Now, Chain 1 with this new color and continue with your border.

***I TURN MY BEANIES INSIDE OUT AT THIS POINT, OR WHEN I'M DONE BECAUSE I FEEL THE "INSIDE" WHILE YOU'RE WORKING ACTUALLY TURNS OUT LOOKING THE BEST.***


Ties

Braided Ties

  • Cut yarn out of desired colors (1-3 colors) in 36" strands (9 total). Fold in half and grab at the loop that forms at the halfway point. Pull that loop through the ch-4 space from last row on Earflap. Open loop up and pull through the strands left (this makes a sort of knot to keep the braid on there and will double your strands, leaving you with 18).
  • Divide yarn into three groups, keeping in mind how the colors will come out looking, and braid until desired length. Tie another knot to finish off and cut ends so that only about an inch to an inch and a half hang down. **I usually make the braids about 5 1/2 inches long (from knot to knot) for 0-9 months and almost 9 inches long (from knot to knot) for the bigger sizes**

Regular Ties

  • Starting at the end of each earflap, chain 40 (or as long/short as you wish), SC in 4th chain from hook and the rest of the way down the chain.
  • After doing both ties, attach Tassels or Pom-Poms.


Tassels

  • Cut a piece of cardboard 3" square (or use the width of your palm). Wind a strand of yarn around the cardboard approximately 30 times (or however thick you want it) and cut it. 
  • Cut a small length of yarn and insert it under all of the strands at the top of the cardboard; pull up tightly and tie securely. Leave the yarn ends long enough to attach the tassel to the beanie. Cut the yarn at the opposite end of the cardboard and then put the cardboard aside. Cut small length of yarn and, 1 inch below the top, wrap it tightly around the tassel twice; tie securely. Trim the ends and attach to beanie.

Pom-Poms
  • Cut a piece of cardboard 3" square (or use the width of your palm). Wind a strand of yarn around the cardboard approximately 30 times (or however thick you want it) and cut it. Carefully slide off of your hand or the cardboard, being careful to make sure it keeps the same shape. 
  • Cut about 15" length of yarn and place behind at the middle; wrap around and tie securely, making sure it stays at the middle. Leave the yarn ends long enough to attach the pom-pom to the beanie. Cut the yarn at the opposite both ends of the pom-pom to make the edges. Trim the ends, fluff it up, and attach to the beanie.

Do NOT Finish off, start your Edging/Border here using the same yarn first


Edging/Border

  • It's best when you have added earflaps to do a border in that same color of the earflaps first, and then another border in the contrasting color. This will give you a better looking edge, taking care of any weird gaps caused by different size stitches. So, chain 1 (after last stitch from earflap) & then SC around entire beanie in that same color, join to first SC. Then change to the contrasting color (Ishowed below how I do that) & SC around entire beanie again (make sure that if you are doing Regular Ties, that you do them at the points of the earflaps starting immediately after changing colors for second border)

  • Changing colors: End your last row by starting an SC into last stitch, but do not pull through loops on hook. So with the color your ending: yarn over, insert hook into last stitch, pull up a loop. Then get your second color: yarn over, pull through both loops on hook, slip stitch to first SC of round. Color change complete! Now, Chain 1 with this new color and continue with your border.

***I TURN MY BEANIES INSIDE OUT AT THIS POINT, OR WHEN I'M DONE BECAUSE I FEEL THE "INSIDE" WHILE YOU'RE WORKING ACTUALLY TURNS OUT LOOKING THE BEST.***


Ties

Braided Ties

  • Cut yarn out of desired colors (1-3 colors) in 36" strands (9 total). Fold in half and grab at the loop that forms at the halfway point. Pull that loop through the ch-4 space from last row on Earflap. Open loop up and pull through the strands left (this makes a sort of knot to keep the braid on there and will double your strands, leaving you with 18).
  • Divide yarn into three groups, keeping in mind how the colors will come out looking, and braid until desired length. Tie another knot to finish off and cut ends so that only about an inch to an inch and a half hang down. **I usually make the braids about 5 1/2 inches long (from knot to knot) for 0-9 months and almost 9 inches long (from knot to knot) for the bigger sizes**

Regular Ties

  • Starting at the end of each earflap, chain 40 (or as long/short as you wish), SC in 4th chain from hook and the rest of the way down the chain.
  • After doing both ties, attach Tassels or Pom-Poms.


Tassels

  • Cut a piece of cardboard 3" square (or use the width of your palm). Wind a strand of yarn around the cardboard approximately 30 times (or however thick you want it) and cut it. 
  • Cut a small length of yarn and insert it under all of the strands at the top of the cardboard; pull up tightly and tie securely. Leave the yarn ends long enough to attach the tassel to the beanie. Cut the yarn at the opposite end of the cardboard and then put the cardboard aside. Cut small length of yarn and, 1 inch below the top, wrap it tightly around the tassel twice; tie securely. Trim the ends and attach to beanie.

Pom-Poms



  • Cut a piece of cardboard 3" square (or use the width of your palm). Wind a strand of yarn around the cardboard approximately 30 times (or however thick you want it) and cut it. Carefully slide off of your hand or the cardboard, being careful to make sure it keeps the same shape. 
  • Cut about 15" length of yarn and place behind at the middle; wrap around and tie securely, making sure it stays at the middle. Leave the yarn ends long enough to attach the pom-pom to the beanie. Cut the yarn at the opposite both ends of the pom-pom to make the edges. Trim the ends, fluff it up, and attach to the beanie.


Applique:

The Gapless Star Applique pattern, I got somewhere from this website (can't find the exact link). It does say "gapless"....however, when I was finished, I had to pull my original end extremely tight to get it to not show a gap too much.

"Gapless" Star Applique (do in White)
Use F Hook
Approximate size: 2" across

Round 1: chain 3, 14 DC in 3rd chain from hook, join
Round 2: SC, *(2 SC, DC, TR, DC, 2 SC) in next stitch, SC decrease, repeat from * 3 more times, (2 SC, DC, TR, DC, 2 SC) in next stitch, sl st in next stitch and finish off, leaving a long end for sewing onto beanie.
