Yarn
I used KnitPicks Swish DK and Swish Worsted for my ornaments. You can use any yarn, but keep in mind that different yarn weights will affect the size of your finished ornaments. I recommend using DK or worsted-weight yarn for this crochet pattern so your mini beanies don’t turn out too big or too small!
This Christmas crochet pattern is perfect for stash-busting! Use leftover yarn and scraps from your stash to make these mini beanies and pom-poms!
Looking for the perfect holiday color scheme for your winter projects? I put together a bunch of holiday-themed color palettes in my latest blog post: “Affordable Yarn for Christmas Knit & Crochet Projects – Holiday Color Palettes“

CROCHET HOOK: 5.5mm

NOTIONS: Scissors, yarn needle
FOR POM-POMS: additional yarn in an accent color and an extra small, 1&3/8″ pom-pom maker (the smallest size from this pom-pom maker set!)
Finished Measurements:
Approximate Length x Width after assembly with brim folded up, not including pom-pom.
Approximately 2.5 x 2.25 inches
Gauge:
Gauge is not critical for this pattern, however, if you wish to achieve similar finished measurements, aim for a gauge that’s identical or close to mine listed below:
2×2 inches or 5×5 centimeters = 9 sts x 6 rows worked in stitch pattern.
Stitch Key:
| ST/STS | Stitch/Stitches |
| SL ST | Slip Stitch |
| CH | Chain |
| HDC | Half Double Crochet |
| BLO | Back Loops Only |
| FO | Fasten Off |
| WS | Wrong Side |
| RS | Right Side |
Notes:
- This is an easy/beginner level crochet pattern
- Pattern written in US crochet terms
- The stitch count at the end of each row is shown in parenthesis ( )
- The CH 1 at the beginning of each row does not count as a stitch.
- This beanie will start out as a simple rectangle that will then be seamed to create the beanie shape.
Pattern:
CH 18
Row 1: HDC in the back bump of the 2nd CH from hook. HDC in the back bump of each CH across. (17 HDC)
Row 2: CH 1, turn. HDC in the BLO across until you reach the last ST. HDC through both loops of the last ST. (17 HDC)
Repeat row 2 until you have 14 rows total.
FO leaving a tail approximately 10 inches / 25 centimeters long, or about 3 times the length of your beanie. Continue to the assembly instructions.
Assembly:
Note: The following method of seaming will help keep the ribbed pattern consistent throughout the entire beanie for a perfect, seamless look.
1. Fold your beanie in half so that the first & last rows are lined up. When folded, the final row that you just completed should be facing RS out.
2. Attach your yarn needle to the long tail and position your beanie with the first row in the front, facing you and your final row in the back, away from you.
3. Secure your seam first by inserting your needle through the starting CH of row 1 & the back loop on the last ST of your final row. Pull the yarn tail all the way through.
Note: Beginning your seam this way will result in a flawless edge along the brim of your beanie.
4. Whipstitch your beanie together by inserting your needle through both loops on the next ST of your foundation CH, and the same back loop from Step 3. Pull the yarn tail all the way through.
5. Continue whipstitching in this fashion by sewing through both loops of the foundation CH & the back loop only of the final row. Make sure your STS remain lined up.
6. Once you’ve completed your seam, weave the tail evenly in and out of the stitches around the top of your beanie.
7. Pull the end tight to cinch it. Then, tie your two yarn tails together until you feel that the knot is secure.
8. Weave in or trim ends. Then, turn your beanie right side out and fold the bottom flap up.
9. Attach a hanging loop to the top back of your beanie using an extra piece of yarn.
10. Create a pom-pom using your extra small pom-pom maker and yarn in a different color. While knotting your pom-pom, leave two long tails to attach the pom-pom to the beanie.
11. Using your crochet hook, pull pom-pom tails through the top of the beanie. Then, turn the beanie inside out and tie the pom-pom tails securely.
12. Weave and trim any remaining yarn tails.
You’re all done!
