Dahlia Double Beanie

Dahlia Double Beanie by Burgundy & Blush

What is Being Made

The Dahlia Double Beanie is a soft and classic crochet beanie pattern designed with a form fit suitable for a standard adult female. This downloadable PDF pattern from independent designer Burgundy & Blush offers a beginner-friendly approach to hat construction, creating a finished piece that combines simplicity with wearable style.

Construction Method

This beanie is constructed from a single flat rectangle piece worked in crochet. The pattern's elegant simplicity lies in its construction technique: the rectangle is created first, then the sides are joined together at the end to form the completed hat shape. This method eliminates the need for complex shaping or increases and decreases, making it an ideal project for those new to crochet hat construction.

Stitches Used

The Dahlia Double Beanie pattern uses a minimal stitch vocabulary, which contributes to its beginner-friendly classification. The primary stitches employed include:

• Double Crochet Foundation Row – Used to establish the base of the rectangle with a secure foundation
• Double Crochet in Back Loop Only (DC) – The main stitch worked throughout the body of the beanie, created by yarning over, pulling a loop through the back half of the stitch, then completing two separate yarn-over-and-pull-through sequences
• Treble Crochet in Back Loop Only (TC) – Used as an accent or variation stitch within the pattern
• Slip Stitch (SS) – Used for joining the rectangle sides together to form the hat
• Chain (CH) – Used as needed for pattern construction

Techniques and Skill Level

The pattern is rated as beginner difficulty, with a very low concentration requirement once the foundation row is completed. Because only one primary stitch is used throughout the main body and there are no changes in stitch count, the pattern maintains consistent rhythm and is forgiving for newer crocheters. The back loop only technique creates a textured appearance while remaining simple to execute.

Materials and Yarn Specifications

This project uses Aran weight yarn, requiring less than 200 grams of yarn for completion. An Aran weight is a medium-heavy yarn that works up quickly, making this an efficient project in terms of time and yardage. A 4.5mm crochet hook is paired with the Aran yarn to achieve proper gauge and fabric drape. Additional materials needed include scissors and a needle for finishing seams and weaving in ends. The pattern also allows for an optional pom of your choice to be added to the crown of the beanie for a decorative finish.

Gauge

The pattern specifies a gauge of 5 rows and 10 stitches, providing a reference point for achieving proper fit and fabric density with the recommended yarn and hook size.
