Men’s Thermal Beanie Crochet Pattern

This men’s beanie crochet pattern features a classic, snug fitting, but comfortable design.

I am so excited to bring you this new crochet pattern (and the matching scarf on Friday)! I love to make gifts for my family, and I’m not going to lie, sometimes finding the right pattern for the men in my life can be tough!

But this is one pattern that they are happy to wear!

The Men’s Thermal Beanie is made using the crochet thermal stitch.  It is worked from the bottom up and in a striped pattern.  This hat is so comfortable!

Because the thermal stitch can be quite thick and dense, 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 starting chain in multiples of ten.
