Men's Classic Beanie - Free Crochet Pattern 

I love that this beanie does not look so bulky like a lot of crocheted ones do, I like the knit look! On my list for Christmas! Thank you, BTW, I am a new sub!!

Watching your video again and realizing that I’m so grateful that you’ve become a crochet designer and educator.

The beginning loop technique is not one I've seen before. Nice touch; it gives the top a smooth look. Well done.

This is a marvelous stitch pattern - the best I have seen in a long time . Can’t wait to make this hat!

After the Elizabeth beanie, this will be my next hat. Thanks for offering a brimmed and brimless version. I cannot wait to start!

I’ve been crocheting for 13 years now and my mind is literally blown! Such a unique way to crochet a ribbed knit looking beanie! I’m definitely going to give this a try Thank you for creating a RU-vid video and showing us how to make!!

This is probably the best tutorial I have ever seen. Most ones I have watched they rush through and don’t explain things. Thank you so much!

SOOO glad I found you, Sarah! I love this pattern. It will be so easy for my crochet group of ladies to make for our "Warming Tree" this winter. Thank you for the free patterns.

I reallly enjoy this technique and the look it produces. I’m definitely going to try this out.

I've been trying to teach myself and finding your channel was the best that could happen! The way you explained it is wonderful and clear, thank you for sharing :)

I am very impressed with your technique as well as with this tutorial. Thank you for sharing

My daughter asked me for help learning to crochet hats as gifts for Christmas. Im so pleased to find your channel. The tutorial makes it so easy. You are a good teacher.

Thank you so much for this pattern! I have been searching for a decent men's hat pattern for some time and it seems like I've found it at last! 👏🏻👏🏻. Blessed with fussy men in my family from husband down through sons and grandsons, I all but gave up knitting or crocheting hats for them- until now .... stand back and be amazed boys, you are about to be anointed with all those beautiful skeins of manly colours of yarns collected up over the years 🤗

Thank you SOOOO MUCH for making this pattern free & even including a video tutorial!!! Dream come true! I’ve been looking for this style of crochet beanie for a long time & hard to find a free pattern I like. I wear lots of beanies and only been crocheting seriously for 2 months so this makes things much easier for me (dabbled for awhile though). I even get to use my favorite Furls hook to work it up! Can’t wait to finish it! I’ll probably end up making several 🥳🤩😱

Thank you for not rushing. It was so easy to follow! Now I know a new technique. Thank you!

I like it with the brim best. I really like the way you do the tutorials.

Thanks, thanks, thanks! Clear, easy to follow and lovely at the end. Making a beanie for my brand new son-in-law out in Denver, CO (currently getting snow!!).

This is absolutely the best beanie design I've come across on RU-vid!!! 100% recommend.

LOVE this. I've been making hats similar to this in slip stitch (knit stitch) only but i love the look of adding the SC row. Thank you for sharing this tutorial. I love making hats!

Hi Sweet Sarah🤗 I'm going to start on making these for all the men in the family❣️ LOVE the construction of this hat!!! Brilliant job sweetie 👍👏Thank You & have a great weekend Much love💕☮️

I love this pattern and made hats with bulkier yarn and by calculating inches instead of stitches. Beautiful pattern.

Just finished making one for my boyfriend as a christmas gift. Thank you so much for the pattern and your instructions 😊❤️. I really enjoyed making it 😁🙏🏼.

i watch so many tutorials an you are the best so far, thank you

I love this pattern! I have made it at least 10 times now for different family members. I make it and add plush fleece on the inside, super soft and comfortable and stretchy and warm! Thanks so much for the pattern!

You’re so good at explaining everything, thank you so much!

I really like the top of the hat - very neat.

Just genious with a small loop on the top. So much easier.

Thank you for this pattern. I've never seen a hat crocheted like this !! Going to make these for the guys on my Christmas List (that will be 10 of these). Looks easy enough that I think I can do it. Thank you again, you have a new subscriber.

Thank you so much for posting this technique! I would never seen one like it before, but will definitely be giving it a try this week. Glad to come across your video.

I really liked this pattern, but I got SO confused with the measurements and the crochet hook size. I just HAD to do some in-depth research on this. I hope this helps clarify some others who feels the same way as I did, without having to search through all of the useful comments below. Like how many others pointed out in the comments, the end-result length becoming EXTREMELY long, with her in the video mentioning "6mm crochet hook", having 56 chains (or 66 chains to fold the end; the word "brim", to me, is a visor-like part, so I won't use that word) -- all did not quite make sense to me. She also mentions the beanie to have approximately 21-inches circumference, which means the width of the beanie we see there is like 10.5 inches, which looks slightly shorter than the length (from top to rim), which looks kind of like 11.5-12 inches.. I searched for that specific yarn she used. It's a number 4 medium worsted yarn of "knitting Gauge: 20 sts in Stockinette Stitch = 4 inches (10 cm) with a 4.5 mm (U.S. 7) knitting needle". In the video she says she used a 6mm-crochet hook. However, there was no way her gauge will look like that with a 6mm crochet hook. Thus, I believe she misspoke having used a U.S.G-6(4mm; Boye brand 4.25mm). And then she googled 6mm crochet hook, and it (of course) gave her the J-10 for the U.S. size, so she just wrote that in the description.. But if it were actually a U.S.G-6 crochet hook, 56-66sts will make around 11-13 inches, which then sounds right for a length of a beanie. I just hoped she corrected it in the video description later, when there are so many comments mentioning about that.. Also, I think it would have been more clear if she measured both the width and length of the finalized beanie. And I didn't really understand why she mentioned "to stop crocheting once it reaches about 18 inches", when in the beginning she mentioned the circumference to be around 21 inches.. I started using a #5 bulky Premier Puzzle yarn (Gauge: 15sx20r = 4in/10cm on size US10/6mm knitting needles-- just because I had that yarn, it was actually a yarn for a 6mm hook, and it is machine wash/dry-able. I tried crocheting with a 5.75mm hook, wanting a more tightly crocheted feel. But then it didn't feel right anyway, I got all frustrated with the measurements, so I stopped after having crocheted for like 5 inches (I have already adjusted the vertical length to be around 9.5 inches) and undid the whole crocheted fabric. I decided to calculate and measure how long that beanie in the video may actually be, got the better measurements, and started writing this comment..! So, eventually I am using a 5.75mm crochet hook for the Premier Puzzle (#5 bulky) yarn, made the loop with 12 chains (hoping the length of the loop shouldn't be too different..), made 39 chains and a 2-chain-post in the beginning that makes a 12inch-long chain to start with (I wanted the beanie to have fold). I am now way more optimistic that it will make a good beanie. Anyway, thanks for sharing this video -- although it gave me a massive headache for the past 3 days. LOL

Can't wait to give this a try. My local crochet club has a request for a large bag full of Men's winter hats. This will be perfect . Thank You for such a great design.

Making a bunch of these and my son is selling them to his skateboarding friends. Going to change the colors. Been doing charcoal gray dark brown blue but now doing lighter colors. A bunch of girls been asking for them. I never made a beanie tell this video and now practicing so much i feel so happy about my skill level know

I've had a time trying to find a way to crochet a hat and hope this will do it for me. Thank you 🧶❤

the absolute BEST pattern, tutorial and technique. impressive. you're a GENIUS! thanks for a fantastic video. this will be my go-to, as I wear hats nightly (and am always in need of hats which go out of season most of the year).

I LOVE THIS BEANIE! Thank you for the most simple and effective method, tutorial yet! I’ve been looking all over for a pattern that is well explained for making adjustments to size as I am making this beanie for myself and have a smaller sized “bean” to cover! lol.

This pattern is brilliant! Thank you for sharing it.

This is fantastic & you are such a good teacher thank you so much

Love the texture of this hat. Thanks for sharing

I love this pattern! Made one for my husband and it was easy and fun to make! Thank you!

I've only done scarves and blankets. I will definitely try this. It seems foolproof

I think this is a super fun and easy to follow tutorial! Thank you very much!!

Thanks for the tutorial. You are amazing. Your work is always well done.

This is beautiful! I love it! 💖

This is absolutely brilliant!!! Thank you for sharing!!

Unusual way of making the hat ..... and will try to make one. Thank you for sharing.

This is great! I do have a pattern like this I made for my self a long time ago. It definitely looks like knitted, which is great. We don't have access to wool yarns here from where I am but super soft baby worsted yarn works great too.

Great hat pattern looks very nice, thank you for sharing hope to give it a try ! Liz x

I just made this and I am so proud of how it turned out! Thank you for this video, it was super easy to follow and clear

Very clear and concise tutorial. Thank you.

Awesome tutorial. Can't decide whether to knit or crochet my brother a hat! Thank you!

Super detailed instructions! Im a beginner but super excited to see if I can do this. New sub!

Thank you for your unique design. I am going to make one soon.

this is my favorite beanie pattern, ive made probably 5 of these beanies (some as gifts)

I love your works so much and the way you explain♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

You did a great job on this Tutorial. The instructions were very clear and you went at a pace crocheting the stitches that was very easy to follow along.

Thank you so much for this tutorial! My boyfriend is a skater with a very big head, which makes looking for beanies extremely hard! This video showed me that even with my limited crochet skills I can still make people happy with handmade gifts!

Such a good method! Thank you, because of this video I’ve made my first ever hat and I’m so excited!!!

I can't wait to try this pattern. It looks so simple. Thank You

I've never seen a beanie made like this. Nice pattern and video. I look forward to making this. Thank you.

This stitching is beautiful and the tutorial is awesome. Just a heads up to newbies, be mindful of the your yarn thickness and hook size. I did the 56 chain and realized it was way too long halfway thru lol. It was good practice tho.

Thank you so much for publishing this pattern and the video. This is a great structure, very different than the usual circle ones and quite knit like. I used a Tunisian crochet that makes it easier to crochet into the slip stitches that can be hard to grab sometimes. I didn't find the same yarn so for me it was more 35 stitches than 55 for the size with hook 6mm

This is so awesome!! I love this! Thank You for Sharing😊

i have currently looked at five other yt videos, and with yoursi was succesful. thank you

I 've used this tutorial for four man beanies! Thank you so much!

Dropping this project an hour into this,,, might comeback later another year

Works up beautifully....looks knitted but takes a tremendous amount of time to complete. Glad I made one but won't make another

Oh wow I was looking for this pattern. Thank You!

I really like this pattern. I've been looking for simple beanie patterns that I can use as a stash buster with the intent of donating the hats to a local emergency shelter for the houseless. They request winter hats every fall. I'm going to do this one, but instead of the ch12 at the beginning, I'm going to use the magic circle method demonstrated in later videos. I think that will make the top easier to close. Thanks for the pattern!😇

Thank goodness I read the comments. Thanks Jessie! I love the look of the hat but mine was getting too long as well with a 6 mm hook. However my major issue is working anything with black wool ( my hubby’s choice of colour) and so many rows of slip stitches. I admit I gave up. It is a great pattern, just not for me. If you give it a go, check Jessie’s comment down here for the correct hook and gauge and DON’T use black!

cool pattern! I will try this after I purchase some new yarn.

OMG 😍Im. excited to make this and send to my bf.. 😂Quarantine days gaves me so much idea for my LDR bf. 😁Thank you so much!!! 😍 i understand well the explanation 😁

Thank you for the pattern. Definitely will try

Great looking hat!

Awesome pattern! Going to give this a try. Thank you!! 😁

Absolutely brilliant!

I'm using worsted weight cotton yarn with H/8 5.00mm hook, and it is coming out great. Just count your stitches. I noticed when using the loop at the top, there is a slight twist while working that creates an illusion of an uneven bottom. I did it by eye at first and tried to even out the bottom every row, which ended up with 10 more stitches because I didn't count my stitches. Lol. After following instructions and counting this time, it came out great! Using this pattern more often. Thank you.

I love the knitted look...but I cannot knit. Lol I've never seen a hat Crocheted this way before. I love the look and it looks so easy! I definitely will be making a hat or two for my son. Thank you so much for sharing & you have a new subscriber! 😀

Great job, and great instructions! Thank you :)

I tried following different videos for a beanie and they confused the life out of me. You honestly did a really good job explaining each step which made it super easy to follow! All that’s left is to get on making one in the morning

You are a life saver! I was making a beanie for my dad when I realised that the way I was doing it would for sure make me run out of yarn. I was upset because I put effort into it. I wanted to fasten it off in case I needed it for anything. I went browsing on RU-vid, finding the same tutorial over and over again until I found yours! I’m halfway through and it looks amazing. Thank you so much 😊😊❤❤

Love how the top is done very different to what i have seen before. Can i ask does a magic ring work at the very start also?

thank you , this is fun making beanie

I love this beanie and is easy to make thanks from Denmark

Thanks for teaching crocheting a man hat. The crochet method is easy to follow.

Love this!thank you for sharing!

This is a beautiful pattern to stitch. The hard part is when you're using a different yarn, and trying to determine the guage!!!

Wow! I wouid never have thought of that!

I'm making a beanie for my boyfriend this Christmas 😁

Yes I like this thank you

Thank you for sharing! Do you have to skip two stitches at the end of every row opposite the chain end?

After three weeks of on-again, off-again crocheting, this hat is complete. Even though it is complete, it is not the way I wanted it to look like at all. I tried to get the same style as shown here and I have failed. I am going to try again, and this time I try to cut the flip of the hat off and try with multi-color yarn.

Wow after watching this, I’ve deciding I’m going to learn how to crochet. This is so cool!

❤️️ Brilliant Idea ❤️️

Ha Ha, I’ve just learned not to work another pattern while listening and trying to watch your video. love the beanie hat and i love that yarn!

I like it a lot...thank you for the great tutorial! :)

Very clear instructions.

I Had to quit at row 4 when I struggled to get my size 10/J hook into the slip stitch for a single crochet using my "lightweight yarn". I appreciate Jessie's suggestions and the pattern looks beautiful. I may attempt this at a later date, but my head is telling me to quit for now.

Love this pattern. Thanks!

Now that's just stinkin cute

THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!! 😊🙏💕💐💃
