If you are looking for a cozy winter hat pattern that works up really quickly, then Starlight Beanie pattern is for you. Using super bulky yarn and big crochet hook, this one is so easy to crochet, you can make a hat or two in one evening.
I like to use pom poms on my hats and beanies, but of course it’s optional. If you choose to add it, I will show you in the video tutorial the best way to secure it on a hat made with bulky yarn.
VIDEO TUTORIAL OF STARLIGHT BEANIE
WRITTEN PATTERN OF STARLIGHT BEANIE
To crochet the Starlight Beanie I use Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick Yarn which is super bulky size 6. One ball has 87yds/80m, 5oz/140g yarn and it’s enough for one beanie. The color used in tutorial is Bubbles. Crochet hook is 9 mm and I use finer hook (5 mm or 6 mm) to crochet the edge and attach the pom. Pom is optional but if you use one with elastic band, then I recommend sewing a 1-inch button on the inside of the top hole to hold the pom. You will also need a big tapestry needle to sew the top of beanie.
Abbreviations:
ch = chain
sl st = slip stitch
Pattern notes:
Ch in the beginning of row is turning ch and doesn't count as a stitch.
- Leave 30-inch tail for sewing the top later.
- Ch 21.
- Row 1 = sl st in 2nd ch from hook and in each next ch (20 sl st).
- Row 2 = ch, turn, sl st in each st.
- Row 3 = ch, turn, sl st blo in each next 15 st, leave last 5 st unworked.
- Row 4 = ch, turn, sl st blo in each next 15 st.
- Row 5 = ch, turn, sl st blo in each next 15 st, sl st in each unworked 5 st on 3rd row (20 sl st).
- Rows 6-8 = ch, turn sl st blo in each 20 st.
- Rows 9-10 = repeat rows 3-4.
- Rows 11-14 = repeat rows 5-8.
- Continue repeating rows 3-4 and 5-8 until 63 rows are completed.
- Fold the piece in half, ch, sl st the sides together inserting hook through blo of last row stitches and foundation chains, don’t cut off yarn. See the short video below for seamless stitching and finishing the beanie with edge and pom:
EDGE
- Turn the beanie inside out, using finer hook (5 or 6 mm) ch, sl st in end space of every other row around bottom edge.
- Cut off, fasten off yarn.
POM
- Using tapestry needle stitch around the top edge and pull it tighter.
- Turn the beanie inside out, and make a few more stitches around the hole to tighten.
- Sew on a button over the hole on the inside using the beginning yarn tail and finer needle.
- Place the pom inside the hat and pull the elastic loop through the hole with the hook.
- Wrap the elastic band around the button a few times.
- You can make a few more stitches around the button.
- Weave in all ends.
