I’m so excited to introduce my latest crochet pattern: the Wrenley Bulky Beanie Pattern and Video Tutorial ✨
This design is part of my growing Wrenley Collection, and just like the original Wrenley Cardi, which can be made as either a vest or a full-sleeve cardigan, as well as the Wrenley Oversized Cardi, each design focuses on beautiful texture, cozy comfort, and simple construction that’s fun to crochet.
And of course, the collection wouldn’t be complete without the Wrenley Hoodie, which uses the same bulky yarn to create an extra warm and cozy piece.
There’s something about this time of year that just makes cozy projects feel extra magical. Warm drinks, soft yarn, comfy sweaters… and of course, a brand-new beanie on your hook!
This design has been such a joy to bring to life. If you already love the textured, squishy stitch from the original Wrenley Beanie, then you are going to adore this bulky version. It has the same beautiful texture — just worked up in a thicker yarn, which means:
✔ extra warmth
✔ beautiful texture
✔ AND it stitches up super fast
It’s one of those projects that you can curl up with in the evening and actually finish without it taking weeks. Perfect for winter weather, market makes, gift giving, or — let’s be honest — keeping a few for yourself!
Supplies Needed
The Yarn
#5 Bulky Weight, 4.4 oz./125 g and is 137 yd./125 m,
80% Acrylic / 20% Wool.
Shown in Salt, Harbor and Terra.
Crochet Hooks
Notions
Gauge
4″ X 4″ = 7 sts X 7.5 rows
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
The beanie is worked flat and then the two sides are seamed together. You’ll first create the main body of the hat, and then finish it off with the ribbing. If you prefer a slouchy style, you can easily adjust the height — just keep adding rows until you reach your desired length.

Make the Matching Set
If you love coordinated crochet projects, you can also pair the beanie with the Wrenley Hoodie to create the perfect cozy set for colder weather.
Matching accessories always make handmade outfits feel extra special!
