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 🙂
I cannot understand the Magic circle. Above states chain 3 then DC 10, where do the 10 DC attach to? Can you please send me the the step by step version?
Thank you in advance for your help,
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.
What would the overall dimensions (height and circumference) be for the pattern as written?
What are the ** for in the pattern?
I completely finished one hat. It came out to small. I used a 5.75mm hook and it still came out to small. I changed to bulky yarn and at the end of 6th row it was 6 inches so I jus.t continue At the end of 7 rows it is 6&5/8 in. Would I use a larger or smaller hook to get the right gauge? Thanks in advance. Penny
Hello I hope every body is enjoying their crochet projects.
I have bought a 5.5 hook and caron yarn. I read the Masterplan for making Beanies. My results are becoming better. but it is still on the small size. My question is the brim included in the measurements? What is the length of the brim? How long should the main part of the Beanie before the brim is added?
I am so glad to have you to explain things to us. Penny
Thanks for the free pattern but I don’t see how all these people are actually completing it. I’ve had to start this thing over about 3 times now. I am an experienced crocheter and have completed much more complicated projects than this but following your pattern, the hat does not come out looking even remotely the same as the photo at all
I cannot for the life of me figure out rows 20 through 25. When adding a sc in between the fpdc, it makes it super bulky and not in columns. I have got to be doing something wrong, right?
I am having same problem!
Thank you! Once I got to this area it is all screwed up! Ive been crocheting for 20+ years and this is a hot mess!
I’m new to crocheting. I don’t understand how I get to 37 stitches by round 3 and 50something stitches my the 4th round.
This is my second yru with this hat. First time I used a “bulky” 5 but looks like a med. 4 weight. Now I’m using a 4 worsed yarn.
How many stitches do I make to make the magic circle?
