Double Brimmed Beanie

Double Brimmed Beanie Crochet Pattern

What Is Being Made

The Double Brimmed Beanie is a crochet hat design featuring a distinctive two-brim construction. This pattern creates a finished beanie with a structured band that forms the foundation, followed by the main hat crown worked in rounds. The double brim design provides both style and functionality, offering a modern aesthetic suitable for various occasions and seasons.

Craft and Primary Technique

This project is created entirely using crochet techniques. The pattern employs a combination of flat panel construction for the band, followed by circular crochet worked in rounds for the hat body. The design demonstrates fundamental crochet shaping methods, including stitch increases and decreases to form the crown of the beanie.

Stitches Used

The Double Brimmed Beanie utilizes the following essential crochet stitches:

• Chain (Ch) – Used to create the foundation and turning chains throughout the pattern
• Slip Stitch (Ss) – Employed to join rounds and create seamless transitions
• Single Crochet (Sc) – Used for joining the band ends and working the hat body
• Half Double Crochet (Hdc) – The primary stitch for the band construction, worked in back loop only for texture
• Double Crochet (Dc) – Utilized in the hat crown for appropriate drape and fit
• Double Crochet 2 Together (Dc2tog) – A decrease stitch used to shape the crown
• Back Loop Only (BLO) – A technique variation applied throughout the band for added texture and visual interest

Materials and Tools Required

This pattern calls for 2 skeins of Vanna's Choice yarn or any similar aran weight yarn, totaling approximately 171 yards in solid colors. Note that both skeins are not entirely consumed in the finished project. A 6mm crochet hook is required for working with this yarn weight. Additional tools include a tapestry needle for weaving in ends and stitch markers for tracking rounds and pattern sections.

Pattern Structure

The Double Brimmed Beanie is constructed in two main sections. The band begins with a foundation chain of 22 stitches, then is worked flat in rows using half double crochet in the back loop only for 40 rows, creating a textured rectangular panel. The two ends of the band are then joined together using single crochet to form a circular base. The hat crown is subsequently worked in rounds from the top of the band, beginning with approximately 70 stitches and utilizing various crochet stitches and decreases to shape the finished beanie.
