When giving handmade Christmas gifts, it’s always fun to try to give some family a few laughs with their gift. A few in the family will be getting a toboggan but someone will also be getting a BEARD!! I found the FREE Beard pattern through Busting Stitches. I love it! I am planning on making many more beards in my crochet future. Hope you love my Toboggan for MEN free pattern! Hook on!
Supplies
5.5 MM Hook
4ply Medium weight
Yarn needle for weaving in ends
For my Medium-Large hat I used I Love This Wool “Camo” (found at hobby lobby)
For my Large-XLarge hat I used I Love This Yarn “BlueGray” (found at hobby lobby)

Hi, Love this hat but I am wondering is this pattern the xtra large version I am on row 23 and its huge!I don’t see adjustments in the pattern,thank you !
It depends on what kind of yarn you are using… If you are using ILTY then yeah, it would be the XL version. The I Love This WOOL yarn would be for med-large
I just go to 60 stitches and don’t go up to 70 for large instead of the extra large pattern and I use I Love This Yarn and it works perfectly!!
Hi, I had a question about the beard. What size did you make here? The large or extra large? Did you do the detachable or is it sewn into the hat? Do you know what changes to made to get the popcorn stitches along the mustache part? Thanks!
I followed the “large” size exactly other than making the chains shorter on the sides (that loop around your ears when wearing it)
I am wondering is the beard suppose to be attachable when the person wants?
yeah, it loops around your ears when you wear it.
where is the pattern for the beard
It is linked at the top of the post as “Free Beard pattern” by “busting stitches”
I used a 6.0 hook and this hat became EX which was great for my husband because he has long thick hair. It was also nice because it was long enough to make a nice cuff to flip up. The pattern was easy enough that I could concentrate on the Half Double stitch which because of lack of use is harder for me. Thanks for the excellent pattern.
I like this pattern, but I wanted to attach the beard to the hat. It worked okay, but I had quite the time trib
ng to get the entry hole big enough to go over his head. I am still looking for a hat aad beard attached pattern Thanks
