The Arctic Beanie is a crochet hat for winter that has a lovely texture created using the Even Moss Stitch (which I have modified to work in the round).

The texture of this crochet beanie is super pleasing to look at and wear, but is a nice dense fabric that doesn’t have many holes so your head and ears will stay nice and warm. What’s even better is this crochet hat pattern was designed to not only be warm, but also be lightweight so you won’t feel like you can’t hold your head up while wearing it. Win/Win/Win!

Note: The Arctic Beanie was originally designed and released October 20, 2020. The crochet beanie pattern was updated on October 31, 2023. The brim of this crochet beanie has been updated to a different style which allows for a much more comfortable stretch. Additionally, this pattern now comes with 5 sizes (Toddler, Child, Teen/Adult Small, Adult Medium and Adult Large) which has been highly requested. The end result of the beanie is nearly the same. The only major visual difference is the brim but I promise - it’s much more comfy because of it’s stretchy quality!

★SKILL LEVEL:
Intermediate. Crocheters looking to follow this crochet beanie pattern should know how to:

 *Work the basic stitches - Chain, slip stitch, single crochet and half double crochet.

CIR. = Circumference, S = Small, M = Medium, L = Large. Beanie Height includes Brim Height.

Most sizes of this crochet winter hat pattern are close enough in height that if you feel the head circumference would be too small, you can go one size up without the beanie being too tall.

★MATERIALS REQUIRED:

Worsted Medium (4) weight yarn of your choice, though I would not recommend 100% cotton for the fiber. Cotton yarn is much thinner than wool, acrylic or a blend of the two and you will struggle to match gauge.

Child: 115 grams / 172 yards
Teen/Small Adult: 130 grams / 195 yards
Adult Medium: 145 grams / 220 yards
