Free Crochet Beanie Pattern Inspiration
I love making new hats! It feels like every season calls for a fresh one! As some of you may know, I’ve been transforming our old dairy barn into a studio and office space for my business. We’ve had the same amazing crew working on it since spring, and I wanted to make something special for all their kids. So, I designed the Snuggle Season Beanie just for them!
I tend to be pretty last-minute with most things, and since the crew was just about to finish the job—some even wrapping up the next day—I needed something quick and easy to whip up! These hats were perfect! I can’t believe how fast time flew; we got to know them so well, and I really wanted to do something special for them.
Yarn For A Crochet Beanie
This pattern is fantastic because it doesn’t require much yarn, making it an excellent stash-busting project! I recommend using your favourite worsted weight yarn. For my hat, I chose Brava Tweed yarn—it’s soft, washable, and perfect for children. Plus, it’s durable, has stunning colours and great for long-lasting wear.

Finishing
Using a yarn needle, thread the tail through the flo of each stitch around the top of the hat. Gently pull the yarn to tighten and close the opening. Weave the yarn around the stitches to secure the end, then back in the opposite direction. This will ensure a snug finish and prevent any unravelling.
Pom Pom
Make a yarn pom pom or attach a faux fur pom pom. Sew snap to the top of the hat. Blow-dry pom to fluff and snap to the top of the hat. Use a 5-6″ pompom for child and adult hats and a 4.3″ pom pom for baby hats. Hats are shown with a 0.5″ x 3.25″ & 1.5″ square personalized faux leather tag. Attach with leather rivets or embroidery thread.
Washing Instructions
Before washing, remove the pompom. Refer to the yarn label for washing instructions. It’s recommended to gently hand wash the hat using a mild detergent or wool wash. Afterwards, carefully lay it flat to dry.
