Easy Thermal Beanie Crochet Pattern

This Easy Thermal Beanie is easy to work, and so wonderful to wear! It is made using the single crochet thermal stitch making it warm without the bulk!

One of the things I love about this beanie is how clean and crisp it looks.  I feel like it makes it a great beanie that can be worn with almost any outfit.

As mentioned above, this crochet hat is worked using the single crochet thermal stitch.  I have worked it on one colour and it is designed to fit an adult woman’s head.  No worries though, if you would like to change the size, it’s easy! All you have to do is work the foundation chain to the desired size.  If you are looking for a men’s thermal beanie, you may wish to check out this one here: Men’s Thermal Beanie Crochet Pattern, it even has a matching scarf!

Materials:

For the hat, I will be using a lighter weight yarn by Lion Brand Yarn: Superwash Merino.  It is a 100% wool yarn that has lots of bounce to it.

In the written pattern below I will explain how to work each of the stitches.  However, if you run into trouble, be sure to also check out the free video tutorial.

Pattern Notes:

• Pattern is written in American English terms.
• Pattern is worked in rounds, you will need to turn at the end of each round.
• Ch 1 at beginning of row does not count as stitch.
• Weave in ends as needed.
• Using a stitch marker, I recommend marking the last st in each round as they sometimes pull too tight to see while working.
• To change the size of your beanie, I recommend increasing or decreasing your foundation chain in multiples of 10.
