Easy Crochet Beanie Pattern and Video Tutorial

There’s something so satisfying about crocheting a cozy beanie — especially when it’s quick, beginner-friendly, and full of beautiful texture. If you’re looking for a crochet project that’s relaxing, stylish, and perfect for gifts, this easy crochet beanie pattern might become your new favorite.

The Wrenley Beanie is part of my growing Wrenley Collection, a series of patterns that focus on beautiful texture, cozy comfort, and simple construction that’s fun to crochet. All of the patterns in the collection share the same tilted pairs crochet stitch that creates a lovely textured fabric, tying the designs together while still giving each piece its own unique style.

The Wrenley Beanie pairs perfectly with the Wrenley Vest or Cardigan as well as the Wrenley Oversized Cardigan, while the Wrenley Hoodie is designed to match the Wrenley Bulky Beanie for the coziest coordinated set.

The first three designs use #4 weight yarn, while the hoodie and bulky beanie are made with #5 bulky yarn for extra warmth and a chunkier look.

Add the perfect finishing touch with your own pom pom or use a faux fur one to make it extra cozy and fun..

Sizes

Baby (Toddler, Child, Small Adult, Medium / Large Adult)

When determining the size you wish to create, it is essential to know the actual head circumference measurement of the wearer. It is more important to use this measurement when selecting a size, rather than just choosing a size based on the age categories.

Construction

This beanie is worked flat and then sewn together at the end. You’ll start with the body of the hat and finish with the ribbing. If you love a slouchy beanie, it’s easy to customize — just keep adding rows until it’s the perfect length for you.
