When cold weather starts to set in, you may want something with added thickness to keep your ears warm.The Alpin Hat will do just that! Not only will your ears be toasty warm, but you’ll look stylish with a fun texture.
This Gorgeous Alpin Crochet Hat Pattern is a quick and easy crochet hat project. And this is what Alpin stich hat is all about! It comes in 3 sizes and doesn’t take much time to complete. It is soft, squishy, warm and fun to make.
One of the best things about this crochet hat is that even if you’re a beginner, Alpin hat is a crochet hat pattern that is much simpler that it sounds, it’s worked with front post double crochet stitches with “regular” double crochet stitches in between, in alternating rows separated by one row of single crochet stitches. Once you get through this pattern, you’ll see just how simple it really is!

Notes
- I recommend reading through the pattern and doing a gauge swatch before starting.
- This beanie is made from the bottom-up in rounds using mostly the alpine stitch.
- Chains do not count as the first stitch of the round. Make sure you’re joining rounds at the top of the first stitch and not into the chain space or chain stitch b. The first stitch of a new round goes into the same stitch that you joined the end of the previous round to (unless you’re working a round that starts with a FPDC).
- When you start working the DC rounds for the alpine stitch, the “regular” DCs of the round always go into the top of a SC from the previous SC round. The FPDC will be worked around the DCs from the previous DC round. Make sure you’re working your FPDCs as seen in the photos below.
