Crochet Folded Cuff Brim Beanie

I’m catching up on a few patterns that I promised to post several months ago and this folded cuff brimmed beanie is one of them! It’s a very simple pattern made of double crochet stitches but the cute folded brim brings that extra flair. And the best part is that you can add a peek-a-boo crochet applique to the front like I did with this bunny!

Originally I had featured this beanie with my Woodstock applique. See it HERE.

Materials:
– Red Heart Super Saver Yarn (colors carrot orange, turqua, and light raspberry pictured)
Shop Red Heart Yarn HERE on Yarnspirations.com!
– Size H Crochet Hook
– Tapestry Needle

The trick to this hat is to turn your work before the last 4 rounds so that your stitches on the brim will be facing the right way when folded up!

Picture Below: Chain 2 and turn before the last 4 rounds. You will see the backs of the stitches but when you fold the brim up, it will be the front of the stitches!

After you fold up the brim, feel free to use your yarn tail to stitch it in place. I typically just stitch down the back so it doesn’t completely unfold when I put it on and I leave the front open to add a cute peek-a-boo applique.

Add a Peek-A-Boo Applique! Stitch on a cute little crochet animal with the head sticking out from under the brim flap. Then add the paws to the top edge of the brim flap.

Bunny Applique pattern:
with light gray yarn (or whatever color you choose)
use a size H hook or size down to a smaller hook (F or G hook) for the baby hats.
Magic Ring, chain 1 and make 10 SC in ring, join, chain 1
Round 2: 2 SC in each stitch around, join, chain 1 (20 SC)
Round 3: 2 SC in first stitch, SC in next, repeat around, join, chain 1 (30 SC)
Round 4: SC in each stitch around, join, do not fasten off (30 SC)
now lets make the ears
Chain 10, SC in second chain from hook , SC in next, HDC in next 2, DC in next, TC (triple crochet) in remaining chains, join to the next stitch on head of bunny, do not fasten off
Chain 10, SC in second chain from hook , SC in next, HDC in next 2, DC in next, TC (triple crochet) in remaining chains, join to the next stitch on head of bunny, fasten off leaving long tail. Second ear is now made.
Add on safety nose and small 6mm safety eyes or take a strand of black/pink yarn and stitch on eyes and a nose with a tapestry needle
Let the ears flop over or stitch them on sticking straight up!

Bunny Paws (make 2):
Magic Ring, chain 2 and make 10 HDC in ring, join to first HDC, fasten off leaving long tail.

Here is a video on how to stitch on the nose and eyes instead of using safety nose/eyes.

And HERE is a tutorial for the full bunny applique

HERE is another option for a bunny applique that has a stitched on face

Happy Hat Making!
