The Winter Beanie Crochet Pattern is a fairly easy crochet beanie to work featuring beautiful textured stitches.
The crochet hat is worked in my favourite way – from the bottom up! You will work the brim of the hat is rows using slip stitches and then the rest of the beanie is worked in rounds.
The stitches featured in the Winter Beanie include half double crochet stitches worked in the third loop. This creates a ridge of texture that looks like knit stitches. The other stitch pattern featured in the hat is called the Crunch Stitch. It’s worked using single crochet a slip stitches. If the slip stitches seem daunting, do not worry. The way they are worked makes them slightly easier. Check it out in the full video tutorial below.
The Materials:
For the Winter Beanie crochet pattern I used the Heartland Yarn by Lion Brand. It is one of my favourite acrylic yarns to work hats in. The colour selection is gorgeous, its thick and very soft. It makes for a very cozy hat!
Along with the yarn you will also need a 5 mm crochet hook. In the video tutorial below you will see me using a Clover Soft Touch crochet hook.

Continue to repeat row 2 until work from the beginning measures approximately 16-17 inches.
Do not fasten off, but fold brim of hat so that two shorter ends meet. Now working through both thicknesses, sl st across working through the blo on each side. Do not fasten off. Turn work right side out (so that the right side is facing you and the slip stitch seam is on the inside).
