Blocksberg Beanie

I named this chunky beanie after a beautiful mountain in northern Germany. The alpine stitch pattern looks like little mountain peaks and makes a gorgeous texture. **Supplies Needed** -100-110 of any super bulky weight (size 6) yarn. My favs are LBWET&Q, LB Hometown USA, and Yarn Bee True Colors -Size 10.0 mm hook, or size needed to obtain gauge -Scissors, yarn needle, tape measure, stitch markers -Embellishments of choice **Terms Used & Abbreviations** Pattern is written in US terminology. Back Loop Only - BLO Chain(s) - ch(s) Double Crochet - dc Front Post Double Crochet - fpdc Repeat - rep Single Crochet - sc Skip - sk Slip stitch - sl st Stitch(es) - st(s) Yarn Over - YO * - Repeat directions given from * [ ] - Indicates the number of stitches you should have ( ) - Indicates a note { } - Work stitches within { } in the same stitch or space **Special Terminology** Front Post Double Crochet (fpdc) - The dc st is made in the same fashion, but where you insert your hook will be different. In this particular pattern, you will be inserting your hook from front to back to front around the dc post 2 rounds below the round you are on. You will follow the normal steps to make your dc as usual. **Gauge** Diameter should measure approx. 6.5-7 inches after completing Rounds 1-3. If your diameter measures differently, you need to adjust your hook size accordingly and begin again. **Finished Measurements** Hat is made to fit the average adult-sized head, measuring approx. 21-24 inches in circumference and approx. 8.5-9 inches in length. I have also included a YouTube video tutorial to help with the most difficult portions of the pattern. **There are no refunds for the purchase of my digital patterns.
