Working the Body of the Beanie

Row 1:

Begin working half-double crochet (hdc) stitches with the first color (gray).
Transition to the second color (blue) by completing the last hdc without finishing it and pulling through the blue yarn.
With the second color, continue working hdc stitches before finishing the row with slip stitches for the brim.

Row 2:

Chain one, turn the work, and work all stitches into the back loops.
Slip stitch into the back loops for the brim section, then switch to hdc in the back loops for the rest of the row.
Transition back to the first yarn color at the end of the blue yarn section.

Row 3:

Chain one, turn the work, and continue similarly to Row 2.
Alternate the yarn colors as needed while continuing to work into the back loops.

Repetition

Repeat Rows 2 and 3 until the piece reaches the desired circumference of the hat.
Ensure the rows alternate between gray and blue to create a striped pattern.
The brim section will appear as slip stitches, while the rest of the fabric is constructed using half-double crochet stitches for a ribbed texture.

Joining the Edges

Once the desired length is reached, fold the piece in half with the wrong side facing out.
Join the edges of the hat using slip stitches.
First, join the brim section to maintain an invisible join, then move on to the body of the hat.
