Beanie Hat
A very popular pattern is my Men’s Beanie Hat. I used two yarns at one time to create double thickness so it’s a nice warm beanie.
- Using Size H or 5.5 MM Crochet Hook
- Two Skiens of Bernat Mosaic “Into The Woods” Colour
You will use both skiens at the same time to increase thickness of the hat. It will make the hat tight and strong.
- Chain 4 and Join with the beginning chain to form a ring.
- R1: Ch 1, work 6 sc in ring, join with sl st in beg ch.
- R2: Ch 1, 2 sc in each sc, join with sl st in beg ch, 12 sc.
- R3: Ch 1, *sc in next sc, 2 sc in next sc; rep from * around, join with sl st in beg ch, 18 sc.
- R4: Ch 1, *sc in each of next 2 sc, 2 sc in next sc; rep from * around, join with sl st in beg ch, 24 sc.
- R5: Ch 1, *sc in each of next 3 sc, 2 sc in next sc; rep from * around, join with sl st in beg ch, 30 sc.
- R6: Ch 1, *sc in each of next 4 sc, 2 sc in next sc; rep from * around, join with sl st in beg ch, 36 sc.
- R7: Ch 1, *sc in each of next 5 sc, 2 sc in next sc; rep from * around, join with sl st in beg ch, 42 sc.
- R8: Ch 1, *sc in each of next 6 sc, 2 sc in next sc; rep from * around, join with sl st in beg ch, 48 sc.
- R9: Ch 1, *sc in each of next 7 sc, 2 sc in next sc; rep from * around, join with sl st in beg ch, 54 sc.
- R10: Ch 1, *sc in next 8 sc, 2 sc in next sc; rep from * around, sl st in beg ch, 60 sc.
- R11-15: Ch 1, sc in each sc around, sl st in beg ch.
- R16: Divide the hat mentally in your brain into 4 parts. Look at the Beanie like it’s a clock. Look for 12 o’clock, 3 pm, 6pm and 9pm. Ch 1, sc in each of the sc around, sl st in the beg ch. BUT… at 12 noon, 3 pm, 6 pm, 9 pm put 2 sc into the stitch. This will increase the entire hat by 4 stitches and make for a better fit.
- R17 – 23: Ch 1, sc in each sc around, sl st in beg ch.
Size hat and complete more revolutions to match. To match Daniel’s head. I circled two more times to match the bottom of his ears.
Fasten Off. Weave in ends.

I know this is going to sound crazy, but my biggest problem, by far, with crocheting patterns off the internet is knowing whether they are UK or USA patterns!! Is there no convention that will allow the downloaders to know which stitch set they are supposed to use? I’m guessing the patters off this site are UK?
The patterns on this site are all done in US terms.
My second hat ever ~ I’m really new to crocheting. Mahalo Nui Loa!!! I made it and it looks super cute ~ it’s for a friend who has just started her chemo treatments ~ I can’t wait to give it to her. The video was really helpful since I don’t understand a pattern yet. I am realllllly grateful for you teaching this! I doubled the yarn and it feels soooo comfy. Plant your seeds, water your thoughts, nourish your soul, and share your blossoms ~ ADare2BU! Aloha, Adaire
Mikey, this is my first attempt at a hat and I’ve kept track of my stitches as I’m going so I know it’s not “growing” as I go if it shouldn’t be. But it seems my “seam” went from being straight and pretty, to all of a sudden diagonal the last 10 revolutions or so. Is that normal and expected? Or am I messing up somewhere? I posted the question to the facebook page hoping someone would respond, but I’ve gotten no feedback. Thanks!
It sounds like you dropped a stitch back aways pull out then when you get to next end of the row, make sure you go into beginning chain stitch.
