Starfall Beanie Crochet Pattern
Double Brim
Row 1: Ch 19 (21, 23, 25) and work 1 sc in the 2nd ch from the hook and in each ch across. Ch 1 and turn. 18 (20, 22, 24 sts)
Rows 2-54 (60, 66, 72): Work 1 sc blo in the 1st st and in each st across. Ch 1 and turn.
Fold the piece so that the short ends meet and slip stitch the last and first row together. You have now formed the brim. Don’t fasten off. We’re going to start the body of the hat by working half double crochet stitches along the top of brim.
Body of Hat
Round 1: Ch 1 and work 1 sc into each st around the brim for a total of 54 (60, 66, 72) sts.
Remember to place your stitch marker in the 1st stitch of each round. This will help you keep track of when you’re starting a new round.
Rounds 2-7 (9, 11, 13): Work 1 sc in each st around. 54 (60, 66, 72 sts) For a taller beanie, you can add more rounds here.
We will now begin the decrease rounds.
Decrease Rounds

Round 2: Sc in each st around. 45 (50, 55, 60 sts)
Round 3: Sc in each st around. 45 (50, 55, 60 sts)

Round 12: Dec around. 9 (10, 11, 12 sts)
Close the Hole
Fasten off the yarn, leaving a long tail (about 12 inches) for sewing. After finishing the last round, there will be a hole at the top of your beanie. To close the hole, with the tail end of the yarn and a tapestry needle, going into each of the hdc sts, whip stitch around the top of the beanie.
Once you make your way back to where you started, pull the yarn to close the hole. If needed, you can continue to weave the yarn through to secure the top of the beanie. Fasten off and weave in your ends.
I’ve designed this beanie to have minimal bunching at the top which allows you to wear it with or without a pom pom. I purchase my pom poms with an elastic loop to make attaching them quick and easy.
I hope you enjoy wearing your beanie or giving them as gifts!
