The Fairy Tale Crochet Beanie is a fun and quick pattern that is perfect for any occasion. This beanie gets it’s texture from combining two different stitches into one.
I wanted to design a simple yet sweet pattern that any girl can wear. And the best part? It requires less than one skein of yarn!

The Yarn
The yarn I used for this beanie is Knitpicks Brava Sport. You may remember this yarn from my Slouchy Legwarmers pattern. It is a nice lightweight yarn that has a really pretty sheen. It is also 100% premium acrylic.
This yarn comes in over 45 colors and contains over 270 yards! All for under $2. That’s a great deal. I also love that it’s gentle enough for sensitive skin making it a great option for baby accessories.
You have many options with the Brava yarn as well. It comes in worsted and bulky weight. Knitpicks even sells an extra large skein that contains 500 grams of yardage!
The Construction
The construction of the Fairy Tale beanie is quite simple. First, the band is created by making yarn over slip stitches in the back loop. The body of the beanie is then worked in a “group stitch” that consists of combining a double crochet and half double crochet stitch into one stitch. You will turn your work after every round.
Decreases are made as you work more rows of the body. The beanie is then cinched at the top. The faux fur pom is completely optional but I think it adds a nice touch!
I really hope you love the Fairy Tale Beanie.

NOTES
- The Fairy Tale Beanie is worked from the bottom up. The band is crocheted first followed by the body of the beanie.
- A Group Stitch is formed by combining a double crochet and a half double crochet into the same stitch.
- Any comparable sport weight yarn will work with this pattern.
- If you would like your beanie to have more slouch, crochet more rounds of the body before the first decrease round.
- Each round of the body is joined with a ss to first hdc of the round.

Bind off leaving a tail approx. 12″ long. Thread a tapestry needle and work your needle in and out of each sc post. When you come back to the beginning, flip your beanie upside down and pull the yarn to close the top of the beanie. If needed, weave your needle in and out through the top of the beanie to close the hole. Weave in any loose ends! Add a pom-pom if desired!
