Designed for all sizes—from baby to adult—this versatile hat is worked from the top down using simple stitches, making it easy to follow even if you’re new to crochet.

This simple technique gives the brim a stretchy, textured finish that looks polished and fits comfortably. One of the best things about this beanie is how quick and easy it is to make. Whether you’re crafting for a last-minute gift, stocking up for a craft fair, or just want a cozy hat for yourself, you can finish it in just a few hours.

Because the pattern includes multiple sizes, it’s perfect for making matching hats for the whole family. You’ll find clear instructions, a size chart, and tips for adjusting length or adding slouch. The hat works beautifully in worsted weight yarn, so you can use your favorite soft acrylics or warm wool blends. If you’ve never tried post stitches before, this pattern is a great introduction—they’re much easier than they look and add a professional finish to your projects. The combination of simple stitches, quick construction, and size flexibility makes this beanie a go-to pattern you’ll want to make again and again.
