Materials Needed
- Yarn: 3 balls of Zara Plus Baby Yarn (9-ply, 50g each), or your preferred soft yarn
- Hook: 5mm crochet hook
- Notions: Tapestry needle, scissors, measuring tape, stitch markers
Step-by-Step Pattern
1. Take Measurements
- Measure your head circumference (where the hat will sit)
- Decide how tall you want the beanie (brim to crown)
2. Make the Starting Chain
- Make a slip knot
- Chain 45 (adjust for a longer or shorter hat)
- More chains = slouchier/longer beanie
3. Row 1 (Foundation Row)
- Chain 1 more (turning chain)
- Starting in second chain from the hook, single crochet in next 40 chains (leave last 5 chains unworked)
- In final 5 chains, work slip stitch in each
- Place a stitch marker at the start of the slip stitches
4. Row 2
- Chain 1 and turn
- In first 5 stitches, work slip stitch in the front loop only (keep stitches loose)
- Move marker if needed
- In remaining 40 stitches, make single crochet in the front loop only until last stitch
- In the last stitch, pick up both loops for a single crochet
5. Row 3 and All Following Rows
- Repeat Row 2 as follows:
- At the start/end of single crochet section, pick up both loops for neat edges
- For slip stitch section, always work in front loop only
- For single crochet section, work in front loop only except at start/end (where you take both loops)
- Count your stitches each row: 40 single crochet, 5 slip stitch
- Continue until your work measures your head circumference (minus a couple inches if yarn is very stretchy)
6. Seam the Beanie (Working Flat)
- Lay panel flat, bring the ends together
- Mark 15 stitches in from each edge – these areas make the fold for the brim
- With yarn still attached, slip stitch seam through both loops for first 15 stitches
- For the remaining stitches, slip stitch through both loops on the front panel, and front loop only on the back panel to create a flexible seam that enables the unique fold
7. Close the Crown
- Turn the beanie inside out
- Thread long tail on tapestry needle
- Working in and out of the top stitches all the way around, pull yarn tight to cinch the crown closed
- Stitch across any small remaining opening for a neat crown
8. Final Touches
- Tie off securely, weaving in all ends
- Turn the beanie right side out
- Fold up the bottom section at the seam to form a neat brim
Conclusion
You’ve now made a soft, stretchy, professional-looking crochet beanie—perfect for keeping cozy or gifting to loved ones. The folded brim adds both style and extra warmth. This project is not only beginner-friendly but also highly customizable for any yarn or head size.
Tip
Make sure your slip stitches are loose on each row—tight slip stitches can be tricky to work into and may affect the overall stretch and look of your finished hat.
