Grid Beanie Crochet Pattern (Free & Textured Design)

If you’re looking for a stylish and modern hat with subtle texture, the Grid Beanie Crochet Pattern is a perfect pick. This beginner-friendly pattern uses only half double crochet stitches worked in front loop only (FLO) and back loop only (BLO) to create a clean, grid-like texture. It’s a relaxing and repetitive stitch pattern that’s easy to memorize and works up quickly—ideal for gifting or selling at markets!

Stitch Pattern

The texture of the Grid Beanie is created by alternating stitches of hdc in the front loop only and hdc in the back loop only. This forms a lightly raised, waffle-style grid that adds a subtle design element while keeping the project simple and approachable.
