Sojourner Beanie

Sojourner Beanie Crochet Pattern

What Is Being Made

The Sojourner Beanie is an intermediate-level crochet hat designed by Heather Moore Makes. This downloadable crochet pattern creates a finished beanie measuring 10.5 inches tall by 10.5 inches wide when laid flat, not including the pom-pom topper. The design is suitable for personal use and offers a classic beanie silhouette with a decorative pom-pom accent.

Crochet Techniques and Construction

This pattern employs fundamental crochet techniques appropriate for intermediate crafters. The beanie is constructed using half double crochet (hdc) stitches as the primary stitch throughout the pattern. The construction method involves working in rows to build the structure of the hat. The pattern utilizes a two-hook approach, starting with a larger 6.5mm crochet hook for the initial foundation and transitioning to a smaller 5.5mm hook for subsequent sections, allowing for proper shaping and fit.

Stitches Used

• Half Double Crochet (hdc) – The primary stitch used throughout the pattern for creating the body of the beanie

Materials Required

The Sojourner Beanie pattern calls for yarn in two different weights to achieve the intended finished dimensions and drape:

• Bulky Weight Yarn – Color A (pictured example: The Hook Nook Yummy in Olive You)
• DK Weight Yarn – Color B (pictured example: Small Stuff Tattoo Ink)
• 6.5mm Crochet Hook – Used for initial rows
• 5.5mm Crochet Hook – Used for subsequent sections
• Tapestry Needle – For weaving in yarn ends and finishing
• 4-inch Pom-Pom – Either a pre-made pom or created using a 4-inch pom maker

Gauge and Sizing

The pattern specifies a gauge of 12 half double crochet stitches by 8 rows equaling 4 inches by 4 inches. Achieving the correct gauge is important for obtaining the finished dimensions of 10.5 inches tall by 10.5 inches wide.
