How To Crochet A Simple Beanie That Men Love - Krissys Over The Mountain Crochet

Men and children love this simple beanie. My son is a fan of this beanie. He has been wearing a gray one and he asked me to make new ones for him. I was happy to oblige. I made one for my little cracker jack of a grandson too! It is a very beginner friendly crochet pattern. I only recommend Caron Simply Soft, or the generic to Caron Simply soft, to get the results that men want. 5 sizes included in the pattern below.

I sometimes use affiliate links in my posts. This won’t cost you anything, but will help offset the cost of yarn and other supplies needed, so that I can continue bringing you crochet patterns and craft ideas. Thank you so much for your support.

How To Make The Leather Or Fabric Tag/Video Support

The leather tags are easy to make. I use scrap leather and cut out a 1″ x 2.5″ piece and round out the corners. Then I used an awl to punch 2 holes, 1/4″ from the end, and then fold the leather patch in half and sew in place. If I have crochet thread in the correct color, I will use that, if not sewing thread is perfectly fine and does a great job. You can also use fabric to make a tag for the brim. Watch the video below starting at the 12.0 mark to find out how to make a fabric patch.
