Are you looking for an easy peasy beanie to whip up for a pre-teen, teenager or woman?  Then this pattern is for you! It doesn’t get much easier than this and I use this base quite frequently in my projects.  Since this is done in Double Crochet instead of half double or single crochet like many it builds up really quickly. I use the Easy Peasy Beanies for the majority of my hats as a base to build on or embellish.  So here it is.  Are you looking for this in another size? Check out the whole family of sizes in the free Easy Peasy Double Crochet Beanie pattern page here at cRAfterchick.com.

Easy Peasy Young Adult / Teen / Woman (small adult) Double Crochet Pattern Instructions: 

*Note: This project is worked in the round on the base of a magic circle ring. If you do not know how to do this, please see tutorial here from: yarntomato on CrochetMe

Round 1: In a magic circle, ch 2 (does not count as a dc throughout pattern as I use this to make a more seamless appearance in my hats) before placing 10 dc in to the circle. Pull circle tightly closed. Join with sl st in top of 1st st. (10 dc)
Round 2: Ch 2 before placing 2 dc in 1st st and 2 dc in each of the following 9 st around. Join with sl st in top of 1st st. (20 dc)
Round 3: Ch 2 before making *2 dc in 1st st and 1 dc in next st.* Repeating * pattern for next 18 st around. Join with sl st in top of 1st st. (30 dc)
Round 4: Ch 2 before making *2 dc in 1st st and 1 dc in next 2 st.* Repeating * pattern for next 27 st around.  Join with sl st in top of 1st st. (40 dc)
Round 5: Ch 2 before placing *2 dc in 1st st and 1 dc in next 3 st.* Repeating * pattern for next 36 st  around. Join with sl st in top of 1st st.  (50 dc)
Round 6 -12: Ch 2 before placing 1 dc in 1st st and 1 dc in each of the remaining 49 st around. Join with sl st in top of 1st st. (50 dc)
Round 13: Ch 1 before placing 1 sc in 1st st and 1 sc in each of the remaining 49 st around. Join with sl st in top of 1st st. (50 sc)

Cut yarn leaving a short tail to finish off the project. Pull tail through and weave in ends with your yarn needle before cutting off any extra length left behind to fasten off hat.All done!

Want a trim or contrast color? Some of cRAfterChick.com’s patterns call for a contrast trim to be added to the bottom of the beanie. You can easily add a contrast trim by adding an additional round of sc to end of hat in new yarn color or for a wider trim, subtract one dc round from Rounds 6-12 portion then add that to the end after in between sc rows in contrast color.

The sky is the limit on possibilities or ideas to make each your own, unique and special from stripes to adding features or appliques etc.  Drop by our free pattern section to find some of cRAfterChick’s ideas to make your project extra fun or special.

    • Are you using a J Hook? Perhaps you are making tight stitches in a lower gauge? I have made over 50 hats with this exact pattern and they fit. See the pictures on the hat model styrofoam head?

    • J Hook in double crochet (US) right?

      • What kind of yarn do you use? My hat came out way small using a J Hook. I used Red Heart Super Saver yarn; it is kind of thin so maybe the yarn makes a difference?

        • I use red heart super saver on most of mine as well and it works perfectly for me with J hook. You are doing dc (us) for stitches correct?

  1. Yes, I did use DC. Looking at your model picture it looks as though the beanie reaches the ears, on mine it came out above the ears. I am relatively new at crocheting so maybe I make tighter stitches? I’m going to try it again in the with the instructions for the next size up. 🙂 Thanks!

  2. Love the pattern, I’m more of a loose crocheter so I used this pattern with a 5.5 hook instead of the 6.0 and it turned out perfectly for a friend who’s going through Chemo at the moment. Should keep her head nice and warm!

    Thank you for sharing!

  3. Got the most compliments today wearing my red wig hat. I’m making a pink and blue striped one for next week. Thanks for the great pattern!
