All Natural Beanie Crochet Pattern

I love working with all natural fibres like the yarn you will see in this All Natural Beanie crochet pattern.

You may, of course, use any yarn of your choosing to make this hat. Although I work it in a 100% wool, it would also be beautiful and fun in an acrylic or blended yarn. So don’t hesitate to try it out!

This past summer I visited one of my favourite yarn shops while visiting Nova Scotia, where I grew up called Lismore Sheep Farm. There I picked up some beautiful all natural, undyed worsted weight wool (which you can also buy online). Although I know not everyone is fond of or able to wear wool, I do love it in winter accessories and garments. I decided to try it in this fun crochet hat!

How to crochet an all natural beanie:

The All Natural Beanie crochet pattern is constructed from the brim up to the top and it can be worn with a pompom or without. It is comprised of a couple of textured crochet stitches including puff stitches and half double crochet stitches worked in the 3rd loop. Not sure what the “3rd loop” is? Don’t worry, I will explain the technique in the written and video tutorials below.

I have used two different colours of yarn for my crochet hat which really helps the texture stand out. You may wish to try this crochet pattern in different varities of colour or all in a solid colour.

You will need about 300 yards of a worsted/medium weight yarn to complete this hat or 1.5 skeins of the Natural Wool by Lismore Sheep Farm. You will also need a 5 mm (H/8) crochet hook. In the video tutorial below you will see me using one of my favourite hooks: A Birchwood Hook my Rowan.

Pattern Notes:

• Pattern is written in American English terms.
• Brim of the hat is worked in rows, body of the hat is worked in rounds.
• Ch 1 at beginning of round does not count as a st.
• Only turn as instructed.
• Weave in ends as needed.
• Hat may be worn with a pompom or without.
• To change the size of your hat, work the brim to the desired size and then work a multiple of 4 stitches for the first round of the hat body.  Work pattern adjusting the stitch count as necessary.
• I have worked my brim with slip stitches, you may also work the brim in single crochet, half double crochet or a combination!
