Typically, any size hat measures 5cm / 2 inches smaller than the head it is intended to fit, i.e has 5cm / 2 inches of negative ease. Make a swatch that measure at least 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4 inches using the stitch the gauge is given for. If your swatch matches the gauge, you’re good to go. If the gauge is wrong, you might need to change your hook. Go up in crochet hook size if your stitches are smaller & go down in crochet hook size if your stitches are bigger.

Shaping your crownBelow you will find a round-up of 14 free crochet patterns for beanie hats made using the three different construction styles I’ve discussed, as well as some which use an alternative approach. If you have made a side to side beanie using the method described above, you’ll need to add the brim at the end. This can be done a similar way to adding a brim to a top down beanie. You may find it helpful to work a single round of sc, into the row-ends so that you have a nice neat round to work into, but this is not essential.

There are so many ways to achieve the same result in crochet and there is no right or wrong – this is just the way I do things! My Granny dot hat (seen below) uses a combination of granny stripe and puff stitches to create a fun texture, but because it has quite a few holes, I wouldn’t be wearing this on the colder days. It’s one for spring and autumn and mild winter days. The granny dot (free) crochet hat pattern How long does a crochet hat take to make? If you don’t turn at the end of each round then you may find that your seam will start to lean or ‘wander.’ This seems to be the biggest complaint I hear about crochet beanie hats. It’s also one of the reasons I like to turn when working in joined rounds.

If you crochet an oversized flat circle (i.e. one that’s bigger than your head),then abruptly start decreasing to fit the circumference of your head, you’re going to end up with something that looks more like a beret. The body of the hat is worked using 3.5 mm crochet hook and the ribbed brim is worked using 2.5 mm crochet hook.If you’ve found this useful, don’t forget to share it with your crochet friends or on social media (every like and share helps me a lot!).

Starting with round two of the body, the body is worked in continuous rounds (no join). You will place a stitch marker in the first stitch of the round. You will need to move that marker each round. Please count your stitches.

Note: this chart is only a guide. You will want your band to measure a couple of inches shorter than the circumference of the person’s head, since it will stretch to fit. Use your tape measure throughout the pattern.

The first stitch of each row / round should be worked into the top of the last stitch from the previous row / round, unless otherwise indicated During the increase part of this pattern you will work post stitches and non post stitches into the same stitch. So for example where you see the instruction (1fpdc, 1dc), you should work 1 fpdc around the post of the stitch and 1 dc into the top of that same stitch. Sometimes you will also work 2 fpdc in the same stitch – here, you work them both around the same post.

How To Crochet a Hat With the Gradient Effect?

If you crochet your hat flat and then sew the two sides together then you are still going to get a visible seam. However, depending on your sewing skills and the stitch pattern you use, a sewn seam may be less visible than joining as you crochet. How to crochet the brim of a hat Top-down and bottom-up beanies can be crocheted flat and seamed together at the side, but, for the most part, they tend to be crocheted in the round.
