A handmade beanie is special because you made it by hand with someone in mind the whole time you were creating it. But this project can also serve a purpose, like as a charity crochet project for those undergoing chemo, for example. Beanie hats are easy to make. However, they can also be easily dressed up. Change the crochet stitches, play with colors, and add details to make a basic beanie just a bit more special.
Big bobbles bring bold texture to this winter accessory. Unique knit-like stitches on the bottom create nice ribbing for close-to-the-head wear. A big pom on top makes this a statement piece.
That’s not all of the change that you can expect with this hat, though. This is a double-thick hat crocheted with one color on the inside and another on the outside so that it’s reversible. You get double the wear plus that extra cozy thickness to keep your head warm. So what makes this beanie special? It’s the two-tone coloring that gives it a dip-dye effect, for starters. The stitch pattern on top is different than the one on the bottom, an effect achieved by the strategic placement of front-loop-only and back-loop-only stitches. Add in those earflaps, however—which are just a few simple short rows on either side of the hat—and you’ve got a beanie that’s a bit more special. This crochet pattern comes in four sizes: extra-small, small, medium, and large. This crochet beanie pattern is a particularly lacy design. It is intended as a summer hat, more for decoration than to keep you warm.
Front post and back post crochet stitches create thick eye-catching texture. The unique placement of stitches creates a design that looks like diagonal lines swirling up the hat. It’s a one-skein crochet hat pattern designed in a bold mustard color. This is a unisex crochet hat pattern. Anyone can wear it!
