How to crochet like Daddy rae rae.

Single crochet beanie.
You'll need 1 skein of yarn, scissors and a Size G (US) hook.
KEY: SC-(1, 2 or 3, ect, all the same stitch)Single crochet
SL- Slip stitch
CH1- Chain one


The first thing you'll need to know is how to make a magic circle. This step replaces the chain 3 and join technique, and I believe it works a lot better.

The link above will take you to a video that also explain visually how to make the magic circle. 
Once You have the magic circle made, crochet 6 single crochets inside of it. 
A single crochet (SC) is done by yarning over once and pulling through.

Pull the tail of your magic circle to tighten it. 
In each single crochet stitch you'll want to make two single crochet stitches. This is called an increase. Do this all the way around for round one. (You might want to tie a piece of yarn in your first stitch to mark it, so you know where your rounds start and end.) When you are done with round one, slip stitch into the first stitch and chain one to start round two. 
You slip stitch by putting your hook into the stitch as you would for a single crochet but instead of yarning over just pull the string through.
