Beekeeper beanie crochet pattern

Keep your head warm and show off how much you love bees with this easy to make crochet honeycomb beanie with hexagonal stitch pattern that makes a lovely outer texture.

You can make it in any weight of yarn, and you have full instructions and video tutorials that will show you step by step what you need to do to make one or many of these.

This pattern is for intermediate crocheters - you need to be familiar with standing stitches and post stitches, but in the video I show you everything you need to know.

Any yarn will work for this, but I recommend that you choose a soft, fluffy yarn with little elasticity, maybe woolen spun or with a soft halo, for the best results.

The images show examples of beanies made in a chunky yarn, a DK weight yarn, a fingering weight yarn.

Measurements

The table in the images gives you measurements that you work to in order to achieve the desired fit with any gauge.

The table has head sizes and finished sizes. The sizes range between head sizes of 41 and 64 cm (between 16” and 25”) with no ease or slight positive ease.

Pick your size based on your measurements and desired length.
