*NEED to know: How to Crochet the Transition Round
The transition round is worked when changing colours. TO create a clean Line when changing colours. (IF you do not want this clean line effect then just start new colour at beginning of round)
Each single crochet stitch of the transition round is made with two yarns:
- insert hook, Pull through the first loop with the old colour,
- And then Complete the stitch with the new colour.
This creates a woven effect: the legs of the stitch show the old colour, and the top “V” shows the new colour. On the next round in your new colour work through both loops of previous rows colour.
It blends the colours cleanly without a jagged line.
Transition Stitch (example MC → C1):
- Insert hook into stitch, yarn over with MC, pull up a loop.
- Yarn over with C1, pull through both loops.
- Repeat in each stitch around.

How do I size a crochet beanie for different ages?
The easiest method is to measure head circumference and subtract 1″ for the brim length. This ensures a snug but stretchy fit. My chart above lists exact rows and heights for Toddler through XL Adult.
What yarn is best for a crochet team hat?
DK (double knit) or light worsted yarn works well for stitch definition and warmth without bulk. Choose acrylic for easy washing, or wool blends for extra coziness.
How do I add stripes or team colours?
Work colour changes in the middle rounds of the hat body. This pattern includes a centred 3–2–3 colour band that highlights your teams, school or college colours
Can I add a pom-pom to my crochet beanie?
Yes! A pom-pom is optional but adds a fun, sporty finish. Use leftover yarn in one of your team colours, or mix all three shades for a custom look.
