Crochet Family Bead Stitch Beanie Easy Free Pattern

Looking for a crochet project that’s a lot of fun and results in a stylish hat for the whole family? 

This bead stitch crochet beanie pattern is the perfect fit, featuring the crochet bead stitch! 

Whether you’re making a baby beanie or an adult size hat, this free crochet pattern offers options for baby, toddler size, child size, and adult size. 

Using a size I (5.5 mm) crochet hook size and medium weight (size 4) yarn, you’ll work bead stitches to create a lot of texture that makes this comfortable hat stand out.

This advanced beginner-friendly project combines simple stitches like double crochet stitches with the magic ring technique to craft a skein hat project that’s both quick and satisfying.

The bead stitch is also worked in the hat. 

You work bead stitch around the post of the dc to create the beautiful bead stitches and texture.

Crochet hats and crochet patterns (beanie patterns) are great for the cold months and make great gifts!

The repeat row (rows of double crochet followed by a bead stitch row) makes it easy to customize, and adding faux fur pom poms is a great way to elevate the finished product. 

The beanie is worked from the top down and starts with a magic circle and 10 dc in the center ring for the first row.

With just a little bit of effort, you’ll have a beanie that’s perfect for chilly days and complements any outfit.

A great easy go to pattern from the first stitch, first dc, next stitch to the last stitch!
