Textured Beanie: A Step-by-Step Crochet Pattern Guide
With chilly weather fast approaching, it’s the perfect time to cozy up with a new crochet project. And what better way to keep warm than with a stylish, textured beanie?
Today, I’m excited to share a pattern that combines cozy warmth with an eye-catching texture.
This beanie is perfect for beginners and seasoned crocheters alike.
Let’s dive in!
Materials You’ll Need:
- Yarn: 2 skeins of medium weight (4) yarn (about 200 yards). Wool or a wool blend works great for warmth.
- Hook: Size H/8 (5mm) crochet hook.
- Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends.
- Scissors: To trim yarn.
Stitches You’ll Use:
- Chain (ch)
- Single Crochet (sc)
- Half Double Crochet (hdc)
- Double Crochet (dc)
- Slip Stitch (sl st)
Pattern Notes:
14 hdc and 10 rows = 4 inches square.
This pattern is designed to fit an average adult head. Adjustments can be made for different sizes.
Step 1: Create the Base
We’ll start by crocheting a basic circle to form the top of the beanie.
Begin with a magic ring. Chain 2 (does not count as a stitch here). Work 12 dc into the ring. Pull the ring tight and join with a sl st to the first dc.
Round 1: Chain 2, then work 2 dc into each dc around (24 dc total). Join with a sl st to the top of the first dc.
Round 2: Chain 2, 1 dc in next dc, 2 dc in next dc. Repeat from * around (36 dc total). Join with a sl st.
Round 3: Chain 2, 1 dc in each of the next 2 dc, 2 dc in next dc. Repeat from * around (48 dc total). Join with a sl st.
Round 4: Chain 2, 1 dc in each of the next 3 dc, 2 dc in next dc. Repeat from * around (60 dc total). Join with a sl st.
Step 2: Add Texture
Now, we’ll add some fun texture to make this beanie stand out.
Round 5: Chain 2, hdc in next dc, dc in next dc, hdc in next dc, 1 sc in next dc. Repeat from * around. Join with a sl st.
Round 6: Chain 2, hdc in next sc, dc in next hdc, hdc in next dc, 1 sc in next dc. Repeat from * around. Join with a sl st.
Round 7-10: Repeat Round 6 until your piece measures approximately 7 inches from the top of the head. Adjust rounds for a different length if needed.
Step 3: Finish the Beanie
We’ll add a simple edge to give your beanie a neat finish.
Round 11: Chain 1, 1 sc in each stitch around. Join with a sl st.
Round 12: Chain 1, 1 sc in each sc around. Join with a sl st.
Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail. Use your tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends.
Step 4: Final Touches
Blocking (Optional): Lightly block your beanie to even out the texture and give it a more polished look.
Add a pom-pom to the top or a decorative button to make it uniquely yours.
