Supplies
5 mm crochet hook
Med Weight (Caron Simply Soft used for hat in photo)
Yarn needle (for weaving in your ends)
-NOTE- If you choose to use another medium weight or worsted weight yarn, it will most likely work up larger than it does with Caron Simply Soft. If that is the case, you may want to stop increasing sooner.
-NOTE- This is a large adult beanie. If you normally can wear child-teen size (like me), this hat will be slightly too big. You may want to shorten the hat 1-2 rows. Be sure to still do the very last row, as it tightens the bottom of the hat for a comfortable snug and stretchy fit.
–NOTE- If you love the design of this hat, but want a child size, use the beanie pattern for THIS HAT!

Where’s row 20?
Ha! I am sorry. For some reason my mind decided to skip that number. The pattern didn’t change but I corrected the row number. Thank you!

hello and thank you for the pattern, i am making a 70 stitch hat so i wanted to know if i should follow the same pattern or if it changes starting from round 11. thank you again.
Oh yes! Just follow the same pattern. If it’s confusing at all (shouldn’t be) This pattern is the same design but with a 70 stitch count. (child size) You just wouldn’t need to make the batman symbol 🙂 https://stitch11.com/child-size-batman-beanie/
thank you. i finished the hat and it worked up very well.
What do I do with line 19 the rest of the 10 stitches
I’m so glad you noticed! That should read HDC 78. Just updated the pattern. Thanks again!
Thank you for this pattern and the subsequent corrections. I used your beanie pattern as a starting point for an earflap hat for my husband and he loves it. I love that the pattern works up in the round not leaving a visible seam.
Is this in US terminology or UK?
US 🙂
Wow I have finally found a pattern thats fits PERFECTLY on an adult head. Thanks for the lovely pattern and for making my life easier.
