James' Classic Fit Beanie - Crochet PDF Pattern

Make your own cozy, modern beanie with James’ Classic Fit Beanie crochet pattern PDF. This beginner-friendly pattern walks you step-by-step through creating a sleek, fitted hat that works for gifts, markets, or personal use. The beanie is worked top-down in joined rounds with double crochet, so there's no sewing required.​

Designed for worsted-weight yarn and a hook one size larger than the yarn label recommends, this pattern creates a classic silhouette that looks great on a wide range of head sizes. The body is made to measure, so you can easily customize the length for a snug fit or a slightly slouchy style. A simple textured brim using front and back post double crochet adds a polished, professional finish.​

This listing is for a digital PDF download only, not a finished hat. Once your payment clears, you can download the pattern and start crocheting right away.​
