Thanks for checking out my No drama men’s beanie free crochet pattern. Finally, my husband asked me to make him a beanie! Of course being a designer I had all sorts of stitches and ideas running through my head. I was quickly stopped in my tracks when he kindly asked for a simple beanie with small stitches, no pompom, no cuff… no drama. Overall we are both happy with how the beanie looks, I guess sometimes less is more. The No drama men’s beanie is made using only the single crochet making it perfect for beginners. As mentioned above its a very simple, no fuss beanie. The beanie pattern is for medium and large adult sizes. Even though I made mine for a man its simple unisex design makes it suitable for women too.
How to crochet a simple men’s beanie
The No drama beanie crochet pattern is perfect for beginners. Its also a great pattern for more experienced crocheters who usually follow video tutorials and want to learn how to read a crochet pattern. To make the beanie you’ll need to know the single crochet stitch, slip stitch and magic ring. For this design i used Aran (weight 4) yarn and a 5mm crochet hook. Gauge is very important for this pattern as you want you hat to fit. The crochet beanie uses approximately 68g (147yds) of yarn.
