Fireside Crochet Hat Pattern

ByJennifer Renaud Updated:

Love the sleek, stretchy look of knit hats but prefer the ease of crochet? You’re in the right place! This crochet hat pattern mimics the look of knit beanies and is made with a crochet hook!

Perfect for chilly weather, this stylish and cozy design works up quickly, uses less than one ball of yarn, and makes a great gift.

You’ll find the free crochet hat pattern below, or an ad-free print friendly PDF on Ravelry, or Etsy (aff).

Grab your hook, favorite chunky yarn, and let’s create a crochet hat that looks just like it was knit!

If you’re like myself and admire the look of knitting, but cannot knit, this crochet hat pattern made with crochet stitches that look like knitting gives you the best of both worlds!

Made with chunky yarn and basic crochet stitches, this hat works up fast—making it a quick crochet gift or a fun weekend project for yourself.

Projects that use one ball of yarn are among my favorite, for several reasons. I like that they help to use up random balls of leftover yarn from larger projects. They are also the perfect size crochet projects to take with you on long car rides.

Make a Matching Set: Our Fireside Cowl was designed to match this knit look crochet hat for a matching set.

Knit-Look Crochet

I LOVE knit-look crochet and all of the different stitches and techniques we can crochet to create it. I especially love to combine different slip stitches and crochet short rows to make stretchy, crochet hats with nicely fitted crowns.

I’ve used several combinations of crochet stitches and short rows to create many different knit-look crochet hats. In addition to slip stitches and short rows, they all have one more thing in common, the stitches are mainly worked into one loop only, either the back loop only (BLO), or front loop only (FLO).

I created the texture of the Fireside Beanie using crochet short rows and slip stitches worked into the back and front loops, and also stitches that drop down and work into other stitches four rows below.

Don’t fret! It sounds much more complicated than it is and I’ve included lots of photos to show you just where to work those stitches!

How to Crochet a Hat

This knit look beanie isn’t constructed like a basic crochet hat that’s worked top down or bottom up. The Fireside Hat is crocheted flat, side to side, then seamed.

When you crochet a hat with short rows, you’ll crochet the hat back and forth in rows, usually from the crown to the band of the hat. As you crochet, each row will get shorter and shorter until you’ve created a small wedge. You’ll then work a full length row, working into previously unworked stitches, to smooth the short rows and complete a pie shaped section.

You’ll continue to crochet short row sections until your work is tall enough and then whipstitch a nearly seamless seam. Next, you’ll use a yarn needle and piece of yarn to create finishing stitches over the seam to make it blend in almost seamlessly with the rest of the hat.

Lastly, you’ll weave yarn in and out of the rows of the crown, pull yarn tight to cinch the gap closed, and weave in ends.

Chunky Crochet Yarn

For the Fireside crochet hat pattern, I chose to use Lion Brand Yarns Hue & Me. Hue & Me is a bulky yarn, acrylic and wool blend, that is available in 36 gorgeous colorways! In this carefully curated palette, each color pairs well with the others, so you’ll never have to wonder “will this match?”.

Each ball of Hue & Me yarn comes with 137 yards making it great for a one ball of yarn chunky hat pattern!

If you’ve been looking for one skein crochet projects with bulky yarn, this crochet hat pattern checks the box!

Did you know? Chunky yarn and bulky yarn are one in the same and the terms are used interchangeably.

Yarn Substitutes

If you don’t have access to Lion Brand Hue & Me, but would love to make this crochet hat pattern, no worries! I’ve got a couple great options for you to check out.

When I haven’t used a yarn before and need to find a yarn substitution, the first thing I do is to check YarnSub.com to look for a comparable yarn.

If you’re unable to find a suitable bulky yarn, the next best thing is to hold 2 strands of lighter worsted yarn together (by lighter worsted I mean a 4 weight yarn, not DK 3 weight yarn). For example, I’ve held together 2 strands of Lion Brand Wool Ease or Pound of Love when I’ve needed a chunky yarn.

I highly recommend that when holding 2 strands together, it’s best to do a crochet swatch to make sure that the 2 yarns you’re holding together will work for this crochet hat pattern.

Pull on your yarn to tighten the seam. Weave in the ends. Continue on to the Finishing Stitches.

Finishing Stitches

The finishing stitches you’ll be adding are to tie together the first and last rows of the beanie. They are decorative stitches that mimic the double crochet stitches you worked 4 rows down throughout the beanie. These stitches are made using only a yarn needle and piece of yarn that you will use to connect two rows of stitches.

A yarn needle is showing how to work a finishing stitch to blend the seam on the crochet hat pattern.
Photo A: With a yarn needle and a piece of yarn that is at least twice the length of the beanie, working from inside your hat, bring the needle up thru the top of a dc from the second to last row of your hat. See yarn needle.

A pink arrow points to a completed finishing stitch and the blue arrow points to where the next one needs to be made.
Photo C: Repeat Photo A & Photo B in the same spot. Work each finishing stitch twice around the same spot. The photo shows one finishing stitch complete (pink arrow). Working on the inside of your hat, weave the yarn thru the stitches across to the next double crochet in the second to last row (blue arrow).

Repeat Photos A – C to tie together each dc from the second to last row of the hat to the dc above it. Weave in ends.

Continue on to complete the second set of finishing stitches.
