Welcome to my crochet baby beanie pattern. I make beanies and other items for charity so thought I’d show you the baby beanies I make.

There’s also a video tutorial for this pattern available on my YouTube channel at crochet baby beanie tutorial.

This pattern will be using US terminology. If you want to view the UK version, go to crochet baby beanie pattern (UK version).

Some of the appliques I used to decorate the beanies are the small bee, the small cat, car and frog appliques.  The bees were made with 2 ply cotton.  All the other appliqués I’ve added were made using DMC number 20 cotton.

Beanie

Leaving a long tail at beginning to stitch the side seam work chain to measure the beanie height plus 4cm or 1 1/2 inches for the brim and top.

Row 1:  Miss 1^st ch, work 1 sc in each remaining ch. Turn.

Row 2:  1 ch, working into back loop only of each stitch except 1^st and last stitch where you work into both loops, work 1 sc in each st.  Turn.

Repeat row 2 until work measures the beanie circumference.  Fasten off leaving a tail to stitch around the top.

To Make Up

Stitch the side seam together.

Sew through the work about ½ an inch from the top and pull tight to ease in the top and make it secure.

Attach appliqués if desired.

And there’s the finished baby beanie with the small cat appliqué. I’ve also made it with the small bee, the car, the frog and a tiny teddy.
