What Makes the Best Crochet Beanie Hat Pattern
When it comes to choosing the perfect crochet beanie pattern, there are a few things that truly set the best patterns apart. First, clarity is key. A high-quality crochet hat pattern provides step-by-step instructions, clear stitch counts, and helpful tips to ensure your project turns out exactly as expected. This is especially important if you’re searching for an easy crochet beanie pattern for beginners.
Another essential factor is versatility. The best crochet beanie patterns come with multiple size options — from baby and child to teen and adult — so everyone can enjoy a perfectly fitting cozy hat. Many top patterns also include variations like slouchy or ribbed designs, giving your project a customizable touch.
Material recommendations can make a huge difference, too. A well-designed crochet hat pattern will suggest yarn weights, hook sizes, and stitch techniques that create a warm, soft, and durable beanie. This ensures your final product isn’t just stylish but also functional for winter wear.
Design style is equally important. People love patterns that mimic a knit-look finish or add textured stitches like ribbing or cables, providing a professional, handmade aesthetic. This gives your crochet beanie the appearance of a high-end knitted hat, without the extra effort.
Finally, a top-tier crochet beanie hat pattern often includes helpful extras like optional pom-poms, tips for customizing length or fit, and advice on finishing touches. These little details make a big difference in creating a polished, wearable project.

Notes about the Crochet Beanie Hat Pattern
- I recommend reading through the pattern and doing a gauge swatch before starting.
- This beanie has a flat construction, worked in one panel and seamed together at the end, which makes it easy to crochet for almost any level of crocheter.
- The initial chain of this pattern will be the height of the beanie and the rows worked will be the width.
- Chains from the beginning of each row do not count as the first stitch of the row.
- Follow along with gauge + hat size chart for a perfectly fitted crochet hat.
- To find your perfect size, use a tape measure to measure the widest part of your head. This will give you your head circumference measurement. Then, subtract about 2″ (5 cm) from this to get the finished hat size measurement. Since this stitch pattern is so stretchy, I find that 2″ (5 cm) of negative ease gives a nice snug fit.
- If a different weight brand of yarn or gauge isn’t followed, then the beanie will not turn out the same size as written.
Materials
- Superlambs 25 yarn by Nako, 75% Acrylic, 25% Wool, 199 meters (218 yards) / 100 grams (3.53 ounces) any worsted #4 size yarn you have, making sure to fit the gauge using one size bigger or smaller crochet hook size.
- 5 mm size crochet hook
- Scissors
- Measuring tape
- Tapestry needle
- Stitch marker
Terminology (US Terms):
ch – chain st – stitch
sl st – slip stitch
yo – yarn over
yo-sl st – yarn over slip stitch
blo – back loop only
sk = skip
Gauge
16 yo-sl sts/14 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) using 5 mm crochet hook
Crochet Stitches Used
Yarn over Slip Stitch (yo-sl st) also known as Half Double Crochet Slip Stitch (hdc slst):
Step 1. Yarn over and insert the hook into the indicated stitch.
Step 2. Yarn over and pull up a loop. You now have three loops on the hook.
Step 3. Pull the first loop through the second and third loops on the hook.
PRO TIP! After pulling up a loop and while pulling it through, it helps to rotate your hook towards you so that the lip of the hook points downwards.
Special Crochet Stitches
Working in the back loop only (blo): when you crochet a row of single crochet or half double crochet stitches and look at the top, you’ll see how those little Vs form the stitches you crochet into. When you hold the piece of crochet in front of you with the Vs on top, the part of the V closest to you is the front loop. The part of the V farther away from you on the opposite side is the back loop. To crochet in the back loop of a stitch, insert your crochet hook underneath the back loop only and make the stitch as indicated in the pattern.

Row 1: Yo-sl st in the back bump of the second chain from the hook and in the back bump of the first 39 chains. (39 yo-sl sts)

To join the panel together to form a hat you will lay it down flat with the right side out. Slip stitch the two short ends of the panel together to form a tube, inserting the hook through the back loop only of each stitch of the first side and in each foundation chain loop of the other side.
Once you reach the top, fasten off yarn leaving a 15-20 inches tail (less for the smaller hat sizes), then using a yarn needle weave along the top of the hat in and out pulling in every few stitches to tighten up the top of the beanie until you reach the beginning.
Then weave in the yarn end back and forth through the top of the beanie to secure. Finishing with the yarn tail on the inside of the beanie.
Weave in all remaining ends with the yarn needle! Turn the beanie insight out and fold the brim up. Optional, attach a faux fur pompom on the top for decoration.
