Learn how to crochet the stylish Charlie Beanie Crochet Pattern using your favourite worsted weight yarn.
This particular hat crochet pattern was designed with a hand-dyed yarn in mind! I love going to yarn and fibre festivals and I love visiting my local small business yarn shops. They are overflowing with luxurious, hand-dyed yarn and I am often left wondering what to do with them after giving into temptation and indulging in a purchase.
This wondering is how the Charlie Beanie crochet pattern came to be!
This crochet hat is designed so that it can be worn by anyone, regardless of gender. It features a solid texture that runs from the brim to the top. This solid texture shows off the colours in those hand-dyed skeins of yarn beautifully! The crochet pattern is written for an adult head with a 20-22 inch circumference but I will provide some instruction in the notes should you wish to adjust your size.
Check out my new books! I have three crochet books now available on Amazon in ebook and paperback format. These books include two books of blanket crochet patterns and one of my favourite crochet stitches. You can see them all by clicking HERE. Enjoy!
The particular yarn used in my Charlie Beanie crochet pattern today is called Merino SW by Cabin Boy Knits. I love this yarn. It’s wonderfully soft and hand-dyed with all natural dye that they have created from foraged plants and botanicals. To work this hat you will only need one skein of yarn which is about 166 m.
