We love Minecraft in this house, so of course, I had to make Alex something inspired by it again. (I previously made him this blanket) If you have been looking for gamer crochet patterns, then this one is for you!

Happy Crocheting!
This beanie uses worsted weight yarn and a size I crochet hook. I ended up using Red Heart Soft (because it’s soft!), and the yarn had the perfect colorways he wanted.
Both of these can be found at any local craft store or on Amazon if you are an online shopper like me! 🙂
The best thing about this hat is that it only takes about an hour to make and will be sure to please the gamer in your family!

On the Gamer beanie…I am confused. The picture shows a hat which appears to use the front post stitch but the pattern only uses double and half-double stitches. The stitches using the dc and hdc makes a flat and not a raised look. What am I doing wrong…am I supposed to be doing front post stitches?
Also, it would really help to know the number of stitches at the end of each row.
Hi,
It uses only double and half double crochet stitches. Since this was an old pattern, it didn’t have the stitch counts, but I just updated it to include them. Hope this helps!
