How to crochet a basket weave stitch baby beanie

      Well good morning y'all !!! Woke up this morning ready to rock and roll haha!! Well today I submitted 2 patterns in my Ravelry store Creationbymalinda and was able to figure out what I did wrong yesterday when submitting my pattern . Apparently I'm supposed to write I am supposed to put the source as to where I created my pattern was in my ravelry store . I really want to start submitting patterns here on my blog so today will be the day!!!! Being very silly and spunky today! Ok now here is what I'm proposing to do and that is a simple hat using the basket stitch .  So lets see I think I'm going to try and create an all size hat meaning ages premie to adult . So here goes nothing!!

final measurments for hat

preemie

you will be working in rounds ch2 in beginning of each rd
recommendation have stitch markers to keep from being confused
I was especially in my increases
rd 1 -   8hdc in 2nd ch (8hdc)
rd2- ch2   2hdc in each ch (16hdc)
Here is where we start on the basket weave when starting each rd from here until end do not count the post directly under your ch2 instead do the next post see picture

Also when counting stitches in each rd suggestion *feel your posts*you will come to a part where you have 2 dc in one post separate them so your stitching comes out to count at end of rd

here is an example of how I want you to feel your posts in picture above you see 2 dc in one ch 

be sure to separate them when doing your count 

rd3 - ch2   fpdc in 1st 2 chs then in 3rd ch do 2 fp dc in same ch then next ch fpdc ,next we do the bpdc  , 2bpdc , bpdc , bpdc , 2 fpdc , fpdc , fpdc , 2fpdc , bpdc , bpdc , 2bpdc , bpdc , fpdc , 2fpdc (24)
rd 4 - ch2 then bpdc , bpdc , bpdc , 2bpdc , fpdc , fpdc , fpdc , 2fpdc , bpdc , bpdc , bpdc , 2bpdc , fpdc , fpdc , fpdc , 2fpdc , bpdc , bpdc , bpdc , 2bpdc , fpdc , fpdc , fpdc , 2fpdc  (30)
rd 5 - this rd we will do no increasing
ch2 bpdc , bpdc , bpdc , bpdc , fpdc , fpdc , fpdc , fpdc * bpdc , bpdc , bpdc , bpdc , fpdc , fpdc , fpdc , fpdc * repeat *to* until end of rd (30)
