Crochet Beanie Pattern - Jenny Beanie

The Jenny Beanie is a beautiful cabled crochet beanie made with simple stitches to give it it’s unique look!

Pattern Inspiration

I wanted to create a cabled beanie but I didn’t want anything to bulky or chunky looking.

Plus, I wanted something slightly simpler than most cable designs. Something an advanced beginner could do.

So I opted to create this crochet beanie with just front post double crochet stitches. No back posts and no triple crochets.

It took a few times to get the stitch definition and texture that I was looking for, but once I did I was so pleased!

Pattern Details

This crochet beanie pattern uses front post cable stitching to create the neat zig zag effect you see below!

The Jenny Beanie is a bottom up project, with the brim made first. It is rated intermediate in difficulty, but once you get the hang of the cables it should be an easy make.

The Yarn

I used WeCrochet Mighty Stitch yarn for my samples but you can use any worsted (#4) weight yarn!

I really love Red Heart Soft because it is truly very soft! It also comes in a beautiful variety of colors and each color has a gorgeous shine to it!

Some other great worsted (#4) weight yarn options are WeCrochet Brava Worsted or LionBrand Heartland.

The crochet beanie pattern also comes with a link to a video tutorial on how to do the cables!

With the cable stitching and the worsted weight yarn, this hat is super warm and cozy! It will make a great winter hat to make for yourself, or gift to someone special!

The Jenny Beanie crochet pattern comes in sizes toddler, child, and adult.
