Rising Hope Beanie with L Hook and yarn Pompom
When I began this technique for this design, in my head I didn’t know what stitch I was making, it just came out this way. That envision just poured out and it was flowing in a way that I couldn’t stop it. These are little things that bring a smile to my face and make me want to keep designing.
The traditional box stitch is worked in 5 double crochet’s in each stitch and going over the chain from previous row. Your next row is worked as follows: single crochet in the first stitch, ch3 skip 3 stitches, single crochet in the last stitch, repeat across.
The traditional box stitch is a beautiful stitch to create. It adds a simple and elegant texture to your makes. The traditional and my modification box stitch are great for:
Blankets
Beanies
Totes
Garments of any kind
Today, I will be showing you how to do this modification using my Rising Hope Beanie.
The Rising Hope Beanie takes the box stitch a little further with a modification to it. I hope you will enjoy making this modification for your new beanie.
Rising Hope Beanie with K Hook and Faux Fur Pompom
When doing your box stitch modification, you notice that your Double Crochets are worked in the stitches and around the ch3 in row 3. But, in row 5 and up your double crochets are worked only in the stitches at the beginning of the row and end of the row, in the middle of the row’s the double crochets are worked in the ch3 space.
When doing your ExSc, make sure you pull up a little to give it height and look extended.
Yarn Needed
The yarn I used for this tutorial: worsted weight #4 with a Main Color and Contrasting Color. You may use any yarn in the same category as I used.
Hooks
The hooks I used to perform this tutorial: K (6.5mm) or L (8.00mm).
Other Materials Needed
Tapestry Needle (weaving in ends)
Scissors
Stitch Marker (optional)

Now Let’s Begin…
Starting with Main Color.
After you have completed your brim of choice, either in sc or hdc, you can begin r1.
The stitch count for this stitch works best in multiples of 4, that why if you check out my pattern Rising Hope Beanie you will notice my stitch of 60.
R1: ch1, sc evenly across the top of the brim. Change to secondary color. Slip stitch to first stitch to join.
R2: ch1, sc in the first stitch, ch3, skip 3stitches, *sc in the next stitch, ch3, skip 3stitches*, sc in the last stitch. Change to primary color and slip stitch to the first stitch to join.
R3: ch2, sk first stitch, dc in the next 3stitches and around the ch3 from previous row, *sk the sc from previous row, dc in the next 3stitches and around the ch3 from previous row,* sk the 2nd to last sc, dc in the last 3stitches and around the ch3 from previous row, sk last sc, change to second color, slip stitch to first stitch to join.
R4: ch1, *ExSc in sk stitch from previous row, sk next 3stitches, ch3,* ExSc in the last stitch from previous row, change to primary color, slip stitch to first to join.
R5: ch2, skip 1st stitch, dc in the next 3stitches and around the ch3 from the previous row, *skip next sc from the previous row, place 3DC’S IN THE CH3 SPACE*, skip the 2nd to last sc, dc in the next 3stitches and around the ch3 from the previous row, skip last the sc. Change to secondary color and slip stitch to the first stitch to join.
You will continue this method in the same manner until you have desired rows.

Sometimes when you’re in a dark place, you tend to think you have been buried; what if you’ve been planted? — Mindfully Glam
Wearing the Rising Hope Beanie
When, I was young my only dream was to be in the medical field. Being a nurse or a doctor was my only passion, I ever wanted to accomplish and become. A care taker was what blinded me. It was the only thing I wanted, it literally was in my blood, and tired fighting for it.
When, I was in middle school, I had this teacher tell me, “you are never going to achieve anything in your life, you just need to quit while you are ahead, your dreams are going to be nothing.” For the longest time this is what was embedded in my brain. I couldn’t let it go nor let it become me, because it did.
I ended up proving myself and my teacher wrong. It was what I wanted to do four the longest time. Graduated high school and even after 3yrs of my graduation, I even went to college. A moment that I am forever happy for and proud to have done. A moment I saw the light and path, that was for me.
It made me see that there was a light at the end of tunnel for me. I was in college for 3yrs, I got my CNA (certified nursing assistant), it was the best feeling in the world to see I accomplished something and pass on my love of life to other people.
I was a proud CNA for 2.5yrs and it was the only thing that made me happy in this life. That changed in 2016, my life and path changed. I let that piece of me go. It was the absolutely hardest for me to do. But, again there was another light in my tunnel that made me see another path in this life of mine.
It was a couple days after Thanksgiving of 2016, that I picked up my first hook and a ball of precious yarn. If you could what I made it was something else, but with the practice and teaching myself patience, I can say I love what I do and what I make. It was the best change I made for my life. I haven’t stopped since.
In the beginning of March 2017, is when I started MM_Crochet17. It was a tough start trying every turn I can make to get my name out there to people. I just never gave up and kept pushing myself to where I am today. Being apart of an amazing community of designers, which inspire me each day.
All the inspiration I have witnessed, this Beanie was brought forth for me like a phoenix rising from the ashes to be reborn. To rise and conquer my dreams for this journey I am on.
Inspiration
I made this beanie as a contribute to my life. That there is always hope and you have to believe in yourself, no matter what life throws in your journey. If things don’t work out, you stumble, and you get told “NO”, just remember it’s just a sign that it wasn’t your time at that moment, don’t let it stop you. Those are the things I think about every time my eyes meet with this beanie, you have to Keep Rising Hope and keep going. There is still Hope. There is still a chance for you, brush it off, now it just means you have to work harder for the next opportunity. This isn’t the end of my journey, I will get my time, but this beanie gives me this Hope I need to understand.
Where The Name Came From
I posted a picture, as a way to help me name this pattern, nothing was coming forth. A handful of people helped and came up with some names that were amazing, but one I saw just stood out from @ryanparkerdesigns
I just couldn’t pass this name up, the perfect piece to fit my own puzzle.
The Yarn
Trying many possibilities. Looking over so many types in my stash, but I just couldn’t decide what to use. After, a day went by, I got to thinking, I need to keep more on the neutral side, than for me trying to make it pop. So, I grabbed my Red Heart Yarn Super Saver in White and Ombré in Anthraciteand the colors just flowed through my vision. My color pallet was decided to design this pattern in the neutral state. The fiber choice for this pattern works best with Worsted Weight #4 yarn.
My Testers
I had some really amazing testers that brought this design more alive. They took this pattern to the next level, to help get where it is. I couldn’t have done without their skills, knowledge and expertise. So…. my thanks is to them.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me, I am here to help you out in any way I can. You can email me at mm.crochet17@gmail.com it’s the best way to reach out to me.

Pattern Notes
US Crochet Terminology. (Please don’t translate into any other language without contacting me first to do so.)
The ch’s at the beginning of the row, don’t count as stitches. Also, ch3’s don’t count as stitches.
This pattern is worked from starting with the brim, body and then decrease rows, finally cinching top closed.
The brim is worked in rows by ch’ing and turning, before beginning the next row.
The DC (double crochet) for the first three stitches and last three stitches, are worked in the stitches and also around the ch3’s. While the rest of the double crochet’s of the row are worked into the ch3 space, not going into the stitches of the previous row.

Special Stitches
ExSC (extended single crochet): this stitch is completed just like that of the single crochet, the only difference is when this stitch is placed you will just pull up a little bit on your hook and yarn, to get that height. This stitch is also worked in each single crochet’s of previous rows.
Dec (decrease): there are several ways to make a decrease, the one I am going to explain here will simply be your traditional decrease. To begin, insert your hook into indicated stitch, yo, pull up a loop, 2 loops on your hook, insert hook into next stitch, yo, pull up a loop, 3 loops on your hook, yo, pull through all 3 loops to complete your decrease.
Now Let’s Dive Right In…

Cinching Up Your Beanie
You will be weaving in and out of each stitch. Once you get to end, begin pulling your yarn tight (not so tight that you don’t break your yarn, like I did), then simply tie a several knots to secure it. Weave in your ends and she is completed. At this point, you may add a Yarn or Faux Fur Pompom, it’s your choice.

“When thinking about life, remember this: No amount of guilt can change the past and no amount of anxiety can change the future.” – Unknown
When, I was looking at designing this beanie, I had another envisioning was going for, but that idea went to the waste side and made me sad. It was that moment, when, I was cruising on Pinterest, at that moment that lightbulb clicked over and she was being born.
These are the moments that cease my heart into the creativeness that runs rapidly. These are the insistence’s that keep me alive. These are the moments that make me happy to be apart of an amazing community. These are the moments that make me happy to be a crocheter and a designer. These are the moments of seeing many people love what comes forth in my art.
A moment and a picture can change what I love, to make my hands keep going forth into the light.
With a little picture can make something and produce a design that wasn’t there before. We are all creative people, but we have to these depths to make them alive, maybe with a different outlook to what we call life. Sometimes just sometimes, life can be that turn that you need.
Life is just mysterious in how it works, thinks and acts. You have to be willing to make that effort. Halfway is all you life ask, before those footsteps fade into dust. Sometimes it’s gone before we knew it was there the whole time. Your effort is the price. Your effort is the key to making it out, because you have to know you’re not alone anymore in the fight, there is hope and time.
This design, as you can see, opened my eyes, to what we call life. Made me think, it’s time to reach out my hand. Letting people know that there is more to life, then me. This design keeps opening my eyes, every time I take a peer at it, shaping me back to my center core. Opening my heart and mind, letting me know there is more to life then myself.
Now, let’s get into making your own opening eyes to life beanie: Jagged Ridge Beanie.

When you think that something wouldn’t work, but after many tries, the envision finally took place. I just wasn’t going to give up on this, not at all. Many rip it’s and rip it’s ran through this yarn. It’s just like life, when something doesn’t work and you think you have failed yourself, never give up, because trust me it’s there. Put it aside for the time being and pick it back up the day after. Trust me it will work.
If you know me the one things I am a sucker for are super chunky yarn, big hooks, and puffed stitches. They bring out the joy and happiness in my life. It makes me drool and wanting more. This yarn from Lion Brand Yarn in Hometown USA, was the perfect fit for this design and I couldn’t resist it, but you can use any super bulky #6 yarn that you have been eying. Plus, when I found my N hook from Boye Yarn Crafts my heart was in love at first sight. These two pairings are a dream come true. They make items that are super comfy, warm and squishy items, that just make my world a happy place.
I like big hooks and can’t lie. I like big yarn and I can’t lie. I like big puffy stitches and I can’t lie. These three sentences are all that go through my head, when I get to pick them up and work with them. It just makes me chuckle, while my husband just gives me a weird look each and every time. I look back and say, “What?” He tells, “I just love seeing you this happy with whatever you do.”
If you love super fast projects that work up quick, then you are going to enjoy making this. I wanted to incorporate stitches that were simple and easy to work. The single crochet is my best friend, as you can see it’s just a dream to work, as there isn’t much required knowledge. I then decided to add a little texture, by going into the back loop in the next two rows, to give the effect of a strike through. Which, gave its name.
When it came time doing my puff stitches, I wanted a little twist. Instead of doing the traditional puff with a ch1 to close it, I don’t close the stitch, as it groups each together. It just makes it easier for you to go into the stitch, plus gave it a more definite texture that speaks to me. Always love taking a twist and spin just to play on the textures.
One more thing to add before we get to the deets, this free crochet pattern comes as three patterns in one. Who doesn’t like that? I love it so much when this happens.

Ch’s don’t count as a stitch.
In the pattern below I have included three ways you can enjoy this pattern, just to have a little versatility to enjoy it.
If you aren’t comfortable with doing the SCFCH, you are more than welcome to ch36, join ch to the first ch (making sure you have no twist), ch1 and sc in same stitch and repeat across. Join to first stitch and carry on with r2 of the pattern.
Pattern
R1: 36SCFCH and join together.
R2: ch1, sc in the blo same stitch and each blo of the next 35 stitches. Slip stitch to first stitch to join. (36)
R3: repeat r2. (36)
R4: ch2, puff in the same stitch and each of the next 35 stitches. Slip stitch to first stitch to join. (36)
R5: ch1, sc in the same stitch and each of the next 35 stitches. Slip stitch to first stitch to join. (36)
R6: ch1, sc in blo the same stitch and each blo of the next 35 stitches. Slip stitch to first stitch to join. (36)
R7: repeat r6. (36)
Here you can FO if you could like to have it as an ear warmer or continue onto the Cowl or Beanie.
For making the Beanie, FO and leave a long tail for cinching the top closed. Now, grab your large eyed needle and thread it with the long tail still attached to your hat. You will be weaving your needle in and out every other front loop, when you get to the beginning, pull your yarn tight closing the top of your beanie. Tie a knot to secure it and weave in your ends. Here you may attach any kind of pompom you would like or you can leave it as is.
Thank you for taking the time to stop by and make this new addition. I really hoped you enjoy it and can’t wait to see what you come up with. Your support and love is really appreciative.

The past 2 days, sitting on the couch, a big debate started roaming around my head. Should I or not put this pattern here on my blog, and drop the price in my shop. It was the biggest twilight idea that went off, I did it and I feel so honored to be bringing you this pattern.
This last summer, My husband and I, took an adventure to go to my family reunion which is up in Northern Wyoming where I was born and raised. My husband has never gotten the opportunity to see my hometown. While we were up there, he also got to meet my mother side of the family at a family reunion, so that was good and rewarding that they greeted him with loving arms.
When we were heading back home, My husband looked over at asked me if I was ok -knowing that I didn’t want to leave that place. I told I want to show you the part of Cody, WY you haven’t seen yet, which was the west portion, like you were heading to the East entrance to Yellowstone National Park. We ended up saying, “what do you say Vie, another Uie?,” and headed towards a magical land, where life disappears to the captivating Mountains and valleys.
It was like being a fairytale from the books. Being surrounded by mountains and trees that took to the sky like skyscrapers, but better. He told me with tears streaming down like a gushing river, I never want to leave this place.
Those words were music to my ears. Inspired this design and a memory from my childhood, when looking off into the distance seeing those snowcapped Mountains.
I can remember as a kid there was this wonderful time in June it snowed in the middle of beautiful Sunny day. I told myself this can’t even happen and I am not complaining whatsoever, because it was snowball fight time. We went in the house, put on our gloves still in shorts and tank tops, balled put the fresh white ground and the fight was on. Perfect for cooling off on a 85 degree day. Trust me you are thinking this can’t happen, but it did no joke at all.

When you get to this point, FO and cut a long tail. This is where we will begin cinching the top closed. To begin the process, you will cinch in every third stitch. When you get to your last stitch, pull your yarn tight to close the middle. Then, begin sewing around the top of your beanie. Then, take your needle and poke it through the middle, so that it will come to the inside of your beanie. Now, you can simply weave in all your ends. You’re finished. You can add a pompom or just leave as is.
I really hope you enjoyed making this beanie, as much as I had the pleasure of designing it for you. Thank you for all your support, I really appreciate it.
