The Yarn That’s Perfect for This Hat

Last fall, I was browsing my local craft store when I came across a Caron Cupcake from Yarnspirations.  If you haven’t seen them, they are yarn cakes wrapped to look like little cupcakes!

They were too cute to pass up, so I picked up the colorway Sweet Berries, which is a fun mix of purple, pink, and salmon. The color of this beanie is also perfect for the Valentine’s Day holiday coming up! But, since it comes in so many colors you could make one for every holiday you wish!

If you can’t find this yarn Loops & Threads JOY DK is a great substitute and is quite easy to find online and in store at Michael’s. Plus, it comes in a great variety of solid and striped colors.

The label suggested a size G crochet hook while not tiny it was definitely different from the 10 mm crochet hook I love to work with. I was a little intimidated at first but loved how the small hook size gave the beanie a sweet delicate look.

Let’s Get Started!

Please keep in mind if you do decide to use a different yarn the gauge and overall look of the hat will differ ever so slightly. Ready to get started? Scroll on down to find the free beanie pattern or purchase an Ad-Free PDF version of this pattern from my shop.

Happy Crocheting Friends!

The Sweet Crochet Beanie Pattern

The Band

Row 1:

Chain (ch) 7, in the second Ch from the hook Sc (single crochet), Sc in each Ch across, turn. (6)

Row 2:

Ch 1, in the first St (stitch) Sc in the back loop (bl), Sc in each st across in the bl, turn. (6)

Row 3 – 66:

Repeat row 2.

Finishing:

Finish the band by holding Row 1 and Row 68 together to join with a Sl St (slip stitch) do not fasten off!

The Main Beanie

You will now be working along the long edge of the band we just joined.

To begin

Chain 1, work a sc into the space between rows 1 & 2, Ch 1, work a sc in between rows 3 & 4, Ch 1, (see pictures for reference), Repeat across by sc between rows and Ch 1 until you have a total of 33 sc’s and 33 ch 1’s for a total of 66.

Do not ch 1 or join, work a Sc in the first Ch 1 space of round 1, ch 1, work another Sc into the next Ch 1 space, repeat around until your hat measures approx 8.5 to 9″ from band to top. (whichever fits best) ending with a Sc.

Closing the Beanie

After you have finished the main part of the beanie sl st into the back loop of the next stitch in the row directly below the current one and fasten off. (see picture)

Fasten off yarn leaving a good 12-15″ yarn tail. Attach the tail of yarn to the sewing needle. Weave in and out through the last row of stitches.

Close a Crochet Hat

Pull tightly to close! Turn hat inside out to fasten off and secure the loose yarn ends. I tend to use this technique a lot to finish hats like my Williams Beanie. It becomes quite easy after doing it over and over.

Now finish up this simple crochet beanie by weaving in all yarn ends throughout the hat!

    I am trying to crochet this pattern, but using the 4.0 hook and light weight yarn, my brim was only 1″ wide and 16″ long. I realize I could use a bigger hook, but not quite sure how that would affect the overall outcome. Any ideas?

      Hi Amber,

      I’d suggest the bigger hook or trying to crochet a looser to try to get closer to the recommended gauge. You could also keep what you have if you are ok with the 1-inch brim you can add more rows (in an even number) to lengthen it. Hope this helps!
