Family Beanie Hats Crochet Pattern
It’s chilly outside these days so a beanie hat is a must-have necessity. If you’re eager to learn how to crochet a hat to keep your head warm this winter, look no further than our family beanie hat crochet pattern.
Perfect for the entire family, this easy crochet pattern makes a thoughtful gift for everyone in your family this season. This crochet beanie is affordable to make and since it’s unisex, it makes a perfect men’s crochet hat too.
I made my crochet hats in colors that look great on everyone too: cream and navy. The adult size is in a rich blue with white trim and a white pom pom. Then, to switch things up a little I made the children’s crochet hat pattern (which typically fits 2-6yrs) in cream with navy trim.
This free crochet hat pattern is so cute and I love the idea of a whole family with matching hats. It’s like a crafty version of the Brady Bunch.
The cascade 220 superwash merino yarn is 100% merino wool but it’s so soft. It’s not scratchy like most wool which means it won’t irritate sensitive skin. It’s also machine washable, so it’s easy to care for the whole family.
These crochet beanie hats are perfect for a family gift or nice stocking stuffers.

Special notes:
For the upper portion of the hat, you will be using the knit stitch (also called waistcoat stitch). You will be crocheting through the posts (or v shape) of the sc from the previous row.
- In upper hat portion, keep sts looser to make placing the hook into the v space easier

The pattern:
Ch 1 does not count as a stitch

October 1, 2020 at 4:30 PM (5 months ago)Very confused – so the ribbing is 94 rows then the body you go down to 72 ? Am I totally out to lunch??
Paula
January 9, 2021 at 12:47 PM (2 months ago)you do the ribbing first(it will be a relatively long narrow piece) then turn the ribbing so you will be crocheting along the “long side” which is the 72 stiches and you will start the main part of the hat above the ribbing.
