Crochet Beanie Patterns
Crochet beanie patterns make close-fitting hats worked either top-down in rounds or flat as a panel that is seamed and gathered at the crown. A beanie should measure about one to two inches smaller than head circumference so it stays in place. Ribbed and back-loop textures add stretch and a modern look.

How do you crochet a beanie that fits?
Crochet a fitted beanie by measuring head circumference, subtracting one to two inches, and increasing the crown circle until its diameter equals that number divided by 3.14. Then work even rounds until the hat reaches the correct height, trying it on as you go.
Frequently asked questions
How many yards for a crochet beanie?
An adult beanie usually needs 150–250 yards of worsted or 80–120 yards of super bulky yarn.
Does a beanie need a brim?
No, but a ribbed or folded brim adds warmth and a snugger fit around the ears.
