Easy Beanies To Crochet

Crochet beanies are perfect for anyone from a tiny preemie to a large adult, because you can easily adjust the size according to your needs. Before we go any further, take a look at these 20 tips for new crocheters. These tips help a lot, whether you’re brand new or just need to refresh your crocheting memory!

What do you need to crochet a basic beanie?

• Worsted weight yarn, approximately 180-200 yards, depending on finished size
• Crochet hook in size K for a looser fit or J for a tighter fit

A note about yarn: for the following beanie pattern you’ll be working two yarns on your hook simultaneously, so you’ll need two skeins. You can use two skeins of the same color, or two coordinating colors for a two-tone effect. Or change colors for a striped beanie. The options are pretty limitless!
