Crochet Hat Free Pattern

Crochet hat free pattern! You know that I’m a fan of these crochet hat patterns and I also enjoy giving them away for free on the blog.
Actually, there’s a reason for that, these beanies are my favorites because they are super quick and easy to do (that’s one for me and you), they are also an amazing gift for babies, toddlers, child and adults alike (that’s number two), and finally, they make all the family happy (that’s number three).
I’ve made this cute hat pattern using just basic stitches and classic beanie shaping. It starts from the top to the the bottom. I chose to use PINK and white, but you can do it in any of your favorite colors.
Let’s get started with this coral beanie for toddlers.
Skill level: Easy – Beginner
Can I make it in any size?
Yes, you can crochet beanie hat for all sizes, with any hook or yarn easily.
How can I crochet a hat for any size?
- First make a crochet circle (the flat circle) by making rounds until you reach the right size of the hat crown. For example: I made 5 rounds = 15 cm for toddler size.
- Then follow the pattern and make rounds until you reach the right size of hat height – 4 cm. For example : the hat height for toddler is 18 cm, right? then make 18-4= 14 cm. I made 6 to 17 = 14 cm. then follow the pattern and continue until you reach the right size =18 cm.
Hat Sizing Measurements:

Materials / Supplies:
You will need :
- crochet hook size: 4.50 mm.
- yarn: wool or cotton in any color (60g). (I used wool yarn, 3.53 0z, 100 g, 230 mt, 230 yards, 100% Acrylic)
- stitch markers.
- Scissors.
- Yarn Needle.
- Tape measure.
Stitches:
- ch– chain
- st/sts-stitch/stitches
- sl st-slip stitch (Insert hook into stitch. Yarn over and pull through both the stitch and loop on the hook).
- sc=single crochet (Insert hook into stitch. Yarn over pull through two loops).
- hdc-half double crochet
- dc-double crochet (Yarn over. Insert hook into stitch. Yarn over pull through stitch. Yarn over pull through two loops. Yarn over pull through two loops).
- fpdc– front post double crochet
- bpdc– back post double crochet
- rep– repeat
Pattern Notes:
-At the end of each round/row please count how many sts do you have at the end of that round/row.
-Ch 1 or ch 2 don’t count as a stitch, and the first stitch should be in the same stitch.
-Repeat what is written in the () as many times as it’s written right after the (). For an example: Repeat (2hdc, hdc1) 5 times. It means that you have to repeat the sequence work 2 hdc sts into the same st. 1 hdc into the next one 5 times. And you will get 5 additional stitches by doing that.
