Looking for an easy and QUICK crochet pattern for a child size beanie? Look no further, friend! My free pattern for the Easy Peasy 30-Minute (adult) Beanie has been wildly popular (thank you!) so to add to that, I’ve decided to create a free child size pattern as well.  Sa-weet!

This pattern is very similar to the adult size Easy Peasy 30-Minute Beanie, except that we stop increasing earlier and we don’t complete quite as many rows. In fact, these child size beanies don’t even take me 30 minutes to make. This pattern works up so fast I made two of them before breakfast this morning – true story.

We are using two strands of worsted weight yarn together.  This makes the beanie work up that much more quickly and it allows for such versatility. I just love it and I hope you will too! Throw a pom pom on top for a little extra pizzaz.

Materials: 

Worsted weight yarn (in one color or two different colors) approx. 150 – 175 yards total
Crochet hook in size K

Finished Beanie Dimensions and Pattern Notes: 

About 9” across brim when folded, 7.5” from crown to brim. If needing for a smaller child you could go down a hook size to a J. Alternatively, if you’d like the finished beanie to be a little larger you could go up to an L crochet hook.  Need to size it even more? We have a handy dandy chart for that!

The ch-2 at the beginning of the row does not count as a dc.

Pattern:

Row 1: Magic circle. Ch-2, dc 8 times in circle. Join with sl st to top of first dc. (8)
Row 2: Ch-2, 2dc in each st. Join with sl st to top of first dc. (16)
Row 3: Ch-2, *dc in first st, 2dc in next* repeat around. Join with sl st to top of first dc. (24)
Row 4: Ch-2, *dc in first 2 sts, 2dc in next* repeat around. Join with sl st to top of first dc. (32)
Row 5: Ch-2, *dc in first 3 sts, 2dc in next* repeat around. Join with sl st to top of first dc. (40)
Row 6 – 11: Ch-2, dc around. Join with sl st to top of first dc. (40)
***if you’d like extra length, continue adding rows until desired height is reached***
Final row: Ch-1, crab stitch around. Join and weave in ends. (40)

Not sure about that border row? You’ll love it and we have a tutorial for the Crab Stitch as well!

    I absolutely hate this “magic” circle! I’ve been crocheting for over 35 years and can NOT get this thing to work. I have wasted more time and yarn trying to figure it out. I will stick with the chain. I’ve never had any problem with lose holes in my work. Other than that I love this pattern.

    I have made many beanies using patterns similar to this but never with double strands of yarn. I cannot believe how many times I've frogged this. I can't believe it has caused me so much trouble. I wonder if the two colors are really confusing me. I'm on the right track now and hope it turns out well. I've made many of Breann's patterns. Thank you and keep up the good work.

    LOVE THE PATTERN, THANKYOU. What size yarn would I use if I don’t want to hold 2 worsted weight together? Thanks in advance

    I just finished my first hat and I feel the one side looks good but the other side the bottom looks a little wonky...not sure what I did wrong. It's to big on my 5 yr old so I hope it fits her friend who is 6 and has big hair. About to make another one and hope it fits my little girl.

    Thank you for such a wonderful and easy pattern! my mother in law taught me how to crochet. last September she passed away unexpectedly and I was the lucky one to get her vast amounts of yarn.. I volunteer and make blankets and kitty beds for a local shelter but wanted to do more! I found your pattern to make hats for local children in need of warm winter hats and will drop them off at local schools when the weather turns cooler :-) I find peace knowing her "stash" of yarn is going to a good use and I can do what she loved to do, Crochet :-)

      I don't know how to crochet but I made this today and it turned out awesome.! It took me alot longer than 30 min though. I had to watch videos on how to do a double crochet, and magic loop. Lol. I used bulky (6) yarn. Trying to use 2 strands seemed a little over my head. Thank you for the easy pattern! My expectations were low. I can't believe it fits and doesn't look like a beginner made it. Haha!

    Thank you! I used this as my first ever hat and finished it in one evening. Used your sizing page for a 6 Mo old and the Crab stitch tutorial too. Great instruction and it turned out so nicely. Can't wait to see my granddaughter in it.

    I loved this pattern! I'm a beginner and it was easy to follow, and came out just how I hoped.. except one thing... It was waaay too small... but I should have measured my boys heads before I started, and used your chart.. other than that, I'm super happy with this!! Thank you :)

    Your site is my go to for crochet patterns because they are ‘as advertised’. I don’t get half way through my project and realize that the pattern I’m working isn’t working up like other sites say they will. Thank you so much for publishing your patterns for others to use!

    I'm confused by the ch2 at the beginning of each round if it doesn't count as a dc. When the end of the row says to sl to the beginning dc, do you actually sl to the the top of the ch2 or do you skip the ch 2 and sl to the dc?

    Hi, loved your 30 min beanie. Made some for Xmas 2017 family. Need a scarf to match, so will try one myself. Have passed your pattern to sister and Neice. Both are so pleased, we are all still new crocheters and your patterns have been wonderful. Thank you so much.

      Hi Kelly! This is actually two strands held together. Both were very old yarn from a friend of mine (from the 80s) so I don't have the colors. :(
