Notes about the Crochet Baby Bear Beanie Hat Pattern:

- Chain(s) from the beginning of each round do not count as a stitch.
- Pattern is written in American English terms.
- Before you start working on the beanie make sure you read through the entire pattern.
Materials you need to make the baby bear beanie hat
- Soft by Red Heart or any #4 worsted weight yarn in soft, baby-friendly colors
- 5 mm crochet hook
- Scissors
- Yarn needle
- 2 stitch markers
- Measuring tape
Terminology – US Terms
ch(s) – chain(s)
st(es) – stitch(es)
sl st – slip stitch
hdc – half double crochet
rep – repeat
sk – skip
sp – space
YO – yarn over
Prefer to crochet along with video instructions? You can watch the full tutorial here:
Gauge: 14 hdc sts x 12 rows = 4 inches (10 cm)
Crochet Stitches Used:
Slip Stitch (sl st): Insert hook into designated stitch, YO (yarn over) and pull back through the st and through the loop on the hook.
Half double Crochet (hdc): Yarn over and insert the crochet hook into the designated stitch. Yarn over again and pull the yarn through the stitch. You should now have three loops on the hook. Yarn over one more time and pull the yarn through all three loops. That completes the half double crochet stitch.
Special Stitches
Magic Ring: wrap the yarn into a ring, ensuring that the tail falls behind the working yarn. Grip ring and tail between the middle finger and thumb. Insert the hook through the center of the ring, yarn over (with working yarn), pull up a loop through the ring and ch 1.
Star Stitch:
The star stitch pattern is quite easy to crochet once you understand where to insert the hook and pool up loops.
Note: You will need 2 rounds to complete full stars: one round of star stitches and one round of half double stitches.
