Hi everyone. I am so excited to share my Elisabeth Slouchy Beanie free crochet pattern with you.
This Easy Crochet Chemo Cap Pattern is dedicated to my dear friend Elisabeth. She is an amazing friend and a courageous woman who survived breast cancer and is an inspiration to others. Her strength and determination show up in so many areas of her life. She has a huge heart and an adventurous spirit and I am honoured to have her as a friend.
This Beanie makes up so soft and it is the perfect project for someone needing a pretty hat to wear while having chemo treatment, but also forever afterwards as well as it is so stylish.
Description of the Elisabeth Slouchy Beanie Chemo Cap Pattern.
The Elisabeth Slouchy Beanie pattern is a top down beanie. The body of the beanie is made up of double crochet stitches and bobble stitches worked on an H or 5 mm hook, so it has a soft texture. The brim is made with alternating front and back post only double crochet stitches. This type of brim is simple and stylish.
Don’t forget to pin it for later so you don’t lose it.
Here are the video tutorials on how to make the bobble stitch

Special Stitches used in the Brim
For the brim you will do alternating Front Post Double Crochet and Back Post Double Crochet.
FPDC or front post double crochet.
Yarn over, insert hook from the front side of the work to back and then to front again, around the post of the indicated stitch on the previous row; yarn over and pull up a loop (3 loops on hook), yarn over and draw through two loops, (2 loops on hook), yarn over and draw through two loops, (1 loop on hook).
BPDC or back post double crochet.
Yarn over, insert hook from the back side of the work to front and to back again around the post of the indicated stitch on the previous row; yarn over and pull up a loop (3 loops on hook), yarn over and draw through two loops (2 loops on hook), yarn over and draw through two loops (1 loop on hook)
A tip to remember when working this ribbed brim.
When you work 1 front post double crochet (FP DC) around the post of the double crochet in the row below, this stitch is raised on the surface of the fabric facing you. Always make sure that the post stitches are raised to the same side in each successive row or round. Keep an eye on the ribs and remember: If the stitch you’re working is raised to the front, work a front post stitch; if the stitch is raised to the back, work a back post stitch.
Here is a great video tutorial to learn this technique.

This hat is worked in the round.
