EASY & QUICK CROCHET PROJECT

Worked mainly in the round, this crochet baby bear beanie works up really fast as you’ll be using a chunky yarn and a J (6mm) crochet hook.

I opted to use James C.Brett Flutterby Chunky, which is a 100% polyester chenille yarn.

I absolutely love working with this yarn… it’s super soft, the colours are divine and it’s machine washable too – a must when it comes to baby items!

BABY SET

This crochet baby bear beanie is part of a little set, so there’s a sweet baby hoodie (with ears also), the cutest little baby booties and a matching baby blanket.

Apart from the blanket (which is made with a super chunky yarn), all the items within the set are made with the same chenille yarn and would be ideal as last-minute gifts for a new arrival or baby shower.

CROCHET BABY BEAR BEANIE: A FREE PATTERN

This post for a crochet baby bear beanie pattern may contain affiliate links, which means I’ll receive a commission if you purchase through my links, at no extra cost to you. Please read full disclosure for more information.

Please carefully read all the information below.

LEVEL

Basic – (see details of project levels at the Craft Yarn Council).

PATTERN NOTES
  • US crochet terms used.
  • Instructions are for size newborn. Changes for size 0-3 months and 3-6 months are given inside round () brackets.
  • When only one instruction is given in black, it applies to all sizes.
  • Beanie is worked in rounds. Earflaps are worked in rows.
  • For best results, use the recommended yarn. You can use any other #5 / bulky / chunky / 12 ply yarn for this project, providing you meet the gauge as detailed below.
  • From row 2 onwards, you’ll work your half double crochets in the spaces in between each stitch (as opposed to crocheting through the top of each stitch).
  • The ch1 at the beginning of each round / row does not count as the first stitch of the next round/ row. Therefore, you should make the first half double crochet of the round / row in the first space, at the base of the ch1.
  • A video tutorial is provided with this pattern (newborn size only – see above).
MATERIALS
  • Yarn: Category #5 / chunky / bulky / 12 ply yarn. I used approximately 1 ounce (28g) from 1 ball of James C. Brett Flutterby Chunky ,191 yds / 3.5 oz (175m / 100g). Colours featured in the photos: Blue (3); pink (2); lilac (10); beige (28); green 11); yellow (9).
  • Crochet Hook: J (6mm) (easy on your hand, plus your yarn will glide off these hooks!)
  • Scissors (super sharp… and pretty).
  • Yarn needle (the bent tip makes sewing and weaving in ends much easier)
  • Stitch marker (these interlocking markers will not escape from your work!).
GAUGE / TENSION

To check your gauge / tension, work the first 4 (6–6) rounds of the pattern below.

After working these rounds, the diameter of your baby hat should measure as follows:

Newborn: 4” (10cm) approx.
0–3 months: 4.75″ (12cm)
3–6 months: 5.25″ (13cm)

FINISHED SIZE

Newborn: Width – 6.25” (16cm) x Height – 4.5” (11.5cm)
0 – 3 months: Width – 7″ (18cm) x Height – 5” (12.5cm)
3 – 6 months: Width – 7.75” (19.5cm) x Height – 5.5” (14cm)

STITCHES & ABBREVIATIONS (US CROCHET TERMS)

beg – beginning

ch(s) – chain(s)

hdc – half double crochet: Yarn over (yo), insert hook into next space, yo, pull up a loop (3 loops on hook). Yo, pull through all 3 loops. 1 half double crochet completed.

RS – right side: The side of your work that you want to have on display – the ‘pretty’ side.

sc – single crochet: Insert hook into stitch, yarn over (yo), pull up a loop (2 loops on hook). Yo, pull through both loops on hook. 1 single crochet completed.

sk – skip: Do not crochet into this stitch / space.

Turn: Turn your work clockwise or anti-clockwise. It doesn’t matter as long as you are consistent for a neater edge.

Position your ears on the hat, slightly to the back of the beanie.
