Crochet Newborn Beanie Pattern Details
Skill Level: Easy
Finished Size: Newborn (12-14” head circumference)
Hook Size: I/9 (5.5mm)
Yardage: 40 – 50 yards worsted (#4) weight yarn
The Yarn
I used Knit Picks Mighty Stitch yarn and Knit Picks Brava Worsted for the hats pictured above.
The Mighty Stitch yarn is amazingly soft! Seriously perfect for sensitive baby skin! It also has a slight shine to it!
The Brava Worsted is not quite as soft, but still nice to the touch. Both of these yarns come in a rather large variety of colors.
Any soft worsted (#4) weight yarn will work for this hat pattern. Just be sure to check gauge!
The crochet newborn hat is worked from the top down in simple crochet stitches. The pattern is rated easy in pattern difficulty.
Frequently Asked QUestions
Can I use a different weight of yarn for this crochet newborn beanie?
As long as you’re able to meet gauge, you can use a different yarn weight. You may need to adjust your hook size—going up for thinner yarns and down for thicker ones. Keep in mind that changing the yarn weight will also affect the thickness, stretch, and overall feel of the finished beanie.
Is this crochet newborn hat pattern good for beginners?
Yes! This newborn beanie begins with rounds of basic double crochet and simple increases, making it very approachable for beginners. Some crocheters find rounds 7–9 (the pattern stitch section) a bit trickier, so if you’d like extra guidance, you can follow along with the video tutorial, here.
Is this crochet infant hat pattern available in other sizes?
Yes! The Little Textures Beanie is also available in sizes from 3–6 months through adult, free on the blog. It’s a fun way to create matching pieces for siblings or even a coordinated look for family photos.
If you’re looking for a smaller size, the Teeny Little Preemie Beanie is a great option for babies weighing 2–6 pounds.
Do you have any matching baby patterns with this stitch combination?
Yes! This stitch pattern is also featured in a ruffled skirt, a sweater, and a pair of baby pants. Mix and match them to create a sweet coordinated outfit—perfect for baby showers or gifting.
Do you have any Little Textures patterns for older kids or adults?
Yes! If you love this stitch pattern, you can also use it to make a hooded cowl (adult size), as well as an ear warmer and boot cuffs set available in sizes from toddler to adult.

I am unable to find the tutorial. Not sure how to do row 8. Could I get some help please..
The video should just pop up after a few seconds, but you can also watch it on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=py5zBUrSgOY
Having a hard time with round 8. I`m right handed. Help!!!!
The video tutorial will show you how to do it. The steps are exactly the same for right handed crocheters.
I’m sorry I cannot figure out what you mean on row nine, single crochet and chain one each stitch?
In round 8 your working a stitch and then a chain 1 space, so in round 9 you will work an sc in the stitch and then another sc around the chain 1 space. You’ll do that all the way around.
Any quick tips on converting the pattern to a 3 weight yarn?
As long as you can meet gauge, you should be fine. Since it’s a thinner yarn, you’ll likely have to go up a hook size or two to meet gauge.
