· The crown diameter is 7”, but the waffle stitch tightens this up. To change the size of the beanie, I suggest changing hook size. The number of stitches can’t be changed.

WAFFLE BRIM BEANIE CROCHET PATTERN

Make a magic loop

Round 1: ch 2, dc 10 into loop, pull loop closed tight, join to first dc with sl st (10 dc)

Round 2: ch 2, 2 dc in each stitch around, join to first dc with sl st (20 dc)

Round 3: ch 2, *dc in 1 stitch, 2 dc in next* repeat from * to * around, join to first dc with sl st (30 dc)

Round 4: ch 2, *dc in 2 stitches, 2 dc in next* repeat from * to * around, join to first dc with sl st (40 dc)

Round 5: ch 2, *dc in 3 stitches, 2 dc in next* repeat from * to * around, join to first dc with sl st (50 dc)

Round 6: ch 2, *dc in 4 stitches, 2 dc in next* repeat from * to * around, join to first dc with sl st (60 dc)

Crown diameter should be approx. 7”. Change hook size to adjust the diameter. Changing the number of rounds will effect the rest of the pattern.

Round 7 – 8: ch 2, dc in each stitch around, join to first dc with sl st (60 dc)

Round 9: ch 2, *fpdc, bpdc in next 2 stitches* repeat from * to * around, join to first fpdc with sl st (60)
Round 10: ch 2, *fpdc, dc in next 2 stitches* repeat from * to * around, join to first fpdc with sl st (60)

Repeat rounds 9 & 10 to Round 18 (60)

Round 19: ch 1, sc in each stitch around, join to first sc with sl st (60 sc)

Fasten off. Weave in the ends.

  1. Thank you for posting these patterns. I have not made alot but have learned alot. How many more before you stop?

  2. I’m very new in the world of crochet.
    But I love your page & patterns.
    I’ts realy amaizing what yo u are doing with the CAL for a cause.

    Greetings forma Spain

  3. This is my 2nd year for the CAL for a cause & will be sad to see it end. I will make more of some of the patterns through the month of October. Since I live in Tucson, there is not a great need for the hats (although I will donate some here), so I will send most to family in Ohio. They will donate through their church to various causes.
    Thank you for sharing your patterns for our personal causes.

  4. Breann, I am having trouble with the waffle stitch, is there e video that could help. Every time I get to row 10, I am not sure where to double crochet after the fpdc. When I do it, I do not have 60 stitches. I really want to figure this one out and not quit

    1. Thanks for the free pattern. I did mines in beige and green looks very, very nice, cannot send a picture because I’m not on Facebook. Again thanks.

    1. Please, where is that photo now? I am stuck same place as you were:
      Round 10: ch 2, *fpdc, dc in next 2 stitches* repeat from * to * around, join to first fpdc with sl st (60)

      Dc in next two stitches? An increase occurs. Argh!

      1. Hi! There shouldn’t be any increases. In the previous round you will have *fpdc, bpdc in next 2 stitches* around. So the dc in next 2 stitches are in the 2 bpdc from the previous row. Hope this helps!

        1. I got it! Made a beautiful hat I posted on the Facebook feed. I had a really fun time making this hat once I got with the program. Thank you to all commenters!

        2. I am having the same issue , an increase of stitches in row 10. I’m obviously sticking my hook in the wrong place. I justcsaw your help and i will re check. I see where I went wrong in row 9 . I should take remedial reading again.

  5. Wanted to make a lighter hat (during my chemo my head was super hot). Used a sports weight and size 4 hook. Added 3 rounds (total of 90 stitches – stitches need to be divisible by 3). Diameter when measured was just over 7 inches before doing the sides. Due to thin thread had to add a couple more rows to get the length. Great pattern! Have a nice thin peach hat for someone special. A big change from making tiny octos for premature babies but just as rewarding. Thanks for doing this project – have enjoyed it greatly.

  6. Hi. I am having trouble with the waffle stch o. Row 10. If I do 2 dc then the fpdc, I am ending with a mess. The fpdc is not lining up. Any suggestions? This is the only one im having problems with.
    Thanks

      1. Thanku it would be nice to have a video since I’m new at crocheting . I did make 1 hat already but I only did 1 dc then fpdc on round 10 I’ll post my hat picture!

        1. Thank you so much for your patterns!! I’m disabled & limited income. I’ve crocheted things for other people for years! Pattern books can be expensive!! People have donated me yarn or I catch it on sale! We have different places in town that have food pantries. & Shelters. To be able to find hat patterns that are so cute is awesome!!! I also hand out lapghans. I have sold a couple. Whatever I sell them for goes for more yarn!!! May God richly bless you!!

  7. Hi Breann – Love the CAL idea!! My Bible study group is knitting hats but I just can’t “get” the knack for knitting and none of them crochet so I am thrilled to find your patterns!! We do hats for the Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes – several of the girls knit 1 hat a day! I am traveling to Baltimore (from PA) tomorrow to work in one of the many distribution centers to prepare the thousands of boxes to ship overseas. (We inspect each box to remove items not allowed and add items to fill them up.) Our Bible study meets every other week so some of them bring in 10 hats and then we (5-7 of us) stay after class to chat and work… so much fun! Thanks again for the patterns!!

  8. Same problem with the beginning of row 10.

    I have a wave, which is cute, but not this pattern…..

    I am using Caron cake, everything good up to now.

    So, row 10, chain 2, then back and forth on the fpdc, bpdc? It does not look like your finished hat.. help, please…..

  9. Great hat pattern easy to do and works up quick. Made many many of these for the homeless shelters in Portland Oregon
