The Uppercross Women’s crochet beanie is a warm hat with delicate stitches that can be worn with a slight slight slouch or you can fold up the brim and wear it close to you head. Keep reading for the free version or purchase the printable PDF of the Uppercross Women’s Crochet Beanie pattern.
Living in Minnesota with our dramatic winters, calls for all sorts of hats. Some days only the thickest chunky hat will suffice and other days, you need your head covered but don’t want to break a sweat.
On those “warmer” cold days, hats like the this Uppercross Beanie or the Coco Slouchy Hat are great for keeping you warm with out overheating. The open stitches of the hat allow for some air circulation while the tighter stitches of the band work to keep the cold from nipping your ears.
Don’t forget to check out the matching Uppercross Cowl which uses the same yarn and stitch pattern.
The yarn
One of my favorite acrylics to work with is Premier Anti-Pilling Everyday worsted yarn . It comes in a large range of colors including striped and heathered options and it has great drape.
Premier Anti-Pilling Everyday was sold in Joann stores up until recently (looks like they’ve started stocking Lion Brand’s anti-pilling line ), but it is still available online in many places.
Join the Premier Yarns reward program here on the Premier Yarns website- you get a coupon and I get reward points. Win-win.
The stitch pattern
The band of the hat is made with half double crochets worked up through the third loop which gives the band a nice amount of stretch.
The main body of the hat is a simple 4 row repeat with simple decreases as you work your way up the hat. It works up surprisingly quickly considering it looks more complicated than it actually is.

sk: skip
dc(s): double crochet(s)
sl st: slip stitch
sp(s): space(s)

Gauge: 2” x 4” taken from the band = 8 hdcs by 10 rows
Finished Size: 20” around at the brim by 9” tall
Notes: Stitch counts are provided at the end of the hdc rows. If your stitch count is off on those rows, your pattern on the next rows will not line up.
The ch 1 to start a round does not count as a stitch.
The ch 3 at the start of round 4 counts as the first dc of the round.
On round 4 when you double crochet into the single crochet of the row below, work between the posts of the single crochet like a waistcoat stitch.
The hat is made by first crocheting the band as a long rectangle then sewing it together. The body of the hat is then worked in the round from the band to the top.
When working in the 3rd loop only on the band, the 3rd loop will be on the side facing you. When working the body of the hat, the 3rd loop will be on the side away from you.
