Crochet Beanie with Textured Stitch
The making process of the Crochet Beanie is straightforward and repetitive, making it beginner-friendly. Using just one main round for the textured body, paired with a folded brim, the process feels smooth and simple. What makes it extra special is the textured lines created by the front post stitches. You’ll also have the option of finishing it off with a cute pom-pom on top.

Step-by-Step Pattern
Materials
To make this crochet beanie, you will need the following:
- Yarn: Worsted weight yarn (any brand of your choice).
- Hooks: 5.0 mm crochet hook (for the brim) and 5.5 mm crochet hook (for the body).
- Scissors: For trimming ends.
- Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends and sewing the top shut.
- Optional: A pom-pom maker or pre-made pom-pom for decoration.
Pattern Instructions
Step 1: Create the Brim
- Begin with a slip knot and your 5.0 mm crochet hook.
- Chain 15 (this will be the width of the doubled brim; adjust if you prefer a smaller brim).
- Row 1: Skip the first chain. Work 1 sc into the second chain from the hook and in each remaining chain (14 stitches total). Ch 1, turn.
- Row 2: Work 1 sc under both loops of the first stitch, then work 1 BLO sc into the next 12 stitches. For the last stitch, work 1 sc under both loops. Ch 1, turn.
- Repeat Row 2 until the band reaches the desired length for your head circumference. For this pattern, the brim requires 54 rows.
Step 2: Join the Brim
- Fold the brim in half, lining up both ends.
- Sl st the last row of stitches to the foundation chain to join the band into a circle (this will form the brim).
- Turn the work inside out to see a seamless join.
Step 3: Start the Body of the Hat
- Switch to the 5.5 mm hook.
- Round 1: Ch 3 (counts as first dc). Work 1 dc at the top of each row of the brim (54 stitches total). Join with a sl st into the top of the starting ch-3.
- Round 2:
- Ch 3 (counts as first dc). Work 1 dc in each of the next 2 stitches.
- Then, work 1 fpdc around the first stitch of the previous round.
- Repeat: 1 dc in each of the next 3 stitches, 1 fpdc around the next stitch of the previous round. Continue this sequence until the end of the round. Join with a sl st into the top of the starting ch-3.
- Round 3:
- Ch 3 (counts as first dc). Work 1 dc in each of the next 2 stitches, then work 1 fpdc around the previous round’s fpdc.
- Skip the next fpdc, and repeat: 1 dc in each of the next 3 stitches, 1 fpdc around the skipped fpdc of the previous round.
- Continue this sequence until the end of the round. Join with a sl st into the top of the starting ch-3.
Step 4: Build the Hat Body
- Repeat Round 3 until you have 8–10 rows of the textured pattern (or until the beanie reaches your desired height).
Step 5: Shape the Crown
- Start decreasing the top of the beanie:
- Ch 3, then work 1 decrease dc over the next 2 stitches. Work 1 fpdc around the next fpdc.
- Repeat: Work 1 dc in the next stitch, then 1 decrease dc over the next 2 stitches. Work 1 fpdc around the skipped fpdc.
- Continue this sequence until the end of the round.
- For subsequent rows, continue decreasing using this method until the crown becomes small enough to close.
Step 6: Close the Crown
- Fasten off, leaving a long tail.
- Use a tapestry needle to sew around the last round of stitches. Pull the thread tight to close the top of the hat completely. Secure and weave in any remaining ends.
Step 7: Add a Pom-Pom (Optional)
Attach a pom-pom to the top of the hat for a decorative touch.
Pattern Question
Question: Can I adjust the pattern for different sizes?
Answer: Yes, the pattern is easily adjustable! Modify the number of initial chains and rows for the desired brim size. Keep the body pattern in multiples of three for best results.
