This Classic Beanie Crochet Pattern has a classic design, but is made a little differently than your typical crocheted hat. It’s worked as a rectangle and then sewn into a hat. There’s a little bit of ribbing to add some subtle texture and the double brim will help keep ears extra warm. This beanie so so stretchy and comfortable to wear. And with the folded brim, it can be slouchy one day and tight fitting the next. I love this pattern and I’ve made quite a few! It’s an easy, mindless project. Perfect for a Friday night in Netflixing ๐ So grab some worsted yarn and your 5.0 mm hook and let’s get started!

Lay out the rectangle so the rows are running vertically and then fold in half from left to right
Sc both ends together. Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing. Using your yarn needle and the long end, weave the long tail in and out around the top of the hat, cinch it closed. Weave in all your ends, turn hat rightside out so the seam is on the inside.
Fold the bottom up so the hat is about 8 (9) [10] inches long.
Add a pom pom!

Iโd like to make this hate for my husband who is getting chemo.
Karen Kar she explains the sizing and fit in the pattern
Is this pattern US or UK terms please
US
I want to make this hat for my man who is getting chemo. Would this pattern fit a man?
It might be a smidge tight. You can add 2 – 3 more rows and I think it would be good ๐
I think it’s big enough for a man. I would use a worstered weight yarn with a K hook.
What yarn did you use for the one where each row turned out a different color?
I love that one!
Thanks!
Hi! It’s Yarn Bee Aurora Borealis in Sonoma Sunset
I have the same question. Is this hat designed for a woman? I want to make it for a man. If I make the largest size, what are the measurements?
The measurements are listed in the pattern ๐
Do you have any video for this?
No

Hi! I am wearing a small adult and I’m 5’0″ ๐
This is such an easy hat to make and looks good in any yarn. Just make sure you use the length and width as your guide for size. I’ve made it in a tweed grey for my husband and 2 for myself and love them. The fold over keeps your ears warm
Thank You for this pattern all sizes fit well for everyone
In your pattern for small adult you have 45 stitches in row 2. The you repeat row 2 to 36 but you used 43 stitches. Should row 2 actually have 2 less stitches?? How do you decrease by 2?
Hi! That’s the row number, not the stitch count ๐
My confusion. Thank you for clearing that up.
I’m not understanding the finished measurements I’m already at 7.5″ wide and this is too small for my 3yr olds. Please help me.
That’s the width after it’s been finished and sewn ๐
Made this hat and it came out terrific love how easy it is. Only question was that the beginning stitch on the turn up is tight. Thought maybe I didnโt something wrong. It would be the found foundation stitch But thank you so much. Love it.
Your starting ch might be tight ๐
That happens to me alot. I can’t seem to correct it without my chain looking uneven so I just use a larger hook for the chain.
