Backbeat Crochet Beanie

Need a hat that’s not too light and not too warm? You need the syncopated rhythm of the Backbeat Beanie! The soft yarn and lightweight texture make it just warm enough for a chilly evening breeze. With an easy, repeating stitch pattern and 4 available sizes, it’s a great crochet beanie pattern to make for charity projects too!

King Cole Comfort Aran Yarn

I used King Cole Comfort Aran yarn for this crochet beanie. The acrylic and nylon blend is beautifully soft and smooth, with just a bit of shine to it. It comes in a range of colors, from brights to pastels and neutrals.

The sample shows 3457 Orchid as color A and 3329 Truffle as color B.

Comfort Crocheting

This crochet beanie pattern is ideal for stitching in front of the TV or chatting with friends. The back-and-forth, alternating rhythm of the 2-stitch repeat is easy and relaxing.

One single and one double crochet pair up to form a repeat. Work each pair into the single crochet of the pair below. The alternating stitch heights create the texture, which spirals around the hat in continuous rounds.
