Crochet beard beanie

A simple easy crochet beard pattern that is a fun gag gift or a great way to keep your face warm in the winter.

Crochet beard hat

I grew up with my parents throwing a white elephant party every year and I couldn’t wait to grow up and have my own. So the first one I got invited to I couldn’t wait to come up with something fun to take.

I was in the middle of a crochet kick at the time and I had seen a crochet beard and decided to try my hand and writing a pattern and creating one. It took a few times and lots of frogging but I finally came up with one I loved

I used my basic striped beanie pattern for the hat (I have created sizes infant to adult). I use the ribbing to attach the beard into the inside of the hat.

Crochet beard beanie without beard

You could also just crochet some chains on each side and wrap the chains around your ears instead – but I hate things behind my ears (I think it’s because I hated glasses so much) so I prefer to attach the beard to the hat.

Since I created this basic beard I’ve not created 2 more beards – Bobble beards sizes infant to adult and the double loop beard also infant to adult sizes. If you want to get the pdfs for all three beards as well as both the beanie and the santa beanies click below.

Beard

Material:
worsted weight yarn
Hook I- 5.50mm

Stitches used:
chain (ch)
slip stitch (sl st)
single crochet (sc)
single crochet decrease (sc2tog)
half double crochet (hdc)
double crochet (dc)
double crochet decrease “puff” (dc2tog)
use 2 double crochets to make a cluster rather than 3 or 4 (2dblcrochet cluster)

Chain 41
Row 1- sc in second ch from hook and in each st across. 40 sc
Row 2- Ch1, turn, sc across 40
Rows 3-4- repeat row 2
Row 5- sc2tog, sc to last 2 st, sc2tog 38

Row 6- Ch 1, turn, sc in next 7 st, hdc in next 2 st, dc in next 20 st, hdc in next 2 st, sc in last 7 st 38
Row 7- Repeat row 6 38
Row 8- Ch1, turn, sc2tog, sc in next 9 st, sc2tog, dc in next 12 st, sc2tog, sc in next 9 sc, sc2tog 34
Row 9- Ch 1, turn, sc in next 9 st, sc2tog, dc in next 12 st, ssc2tog, sc in next 9 st 32

Row 10- Ch 1, turn, sc in next 10 st, hdc in next st, ch 10, skip 10 st, hdc in next st, sc in next 10 st 32
Row 11- Ch 1, turn, sc in next 9 st, 3 dc in next st, 2dblcrochet cluster 10 times in ch space, 3 dc in next st, sc in next 9 st.
finish off

Sew row ends of beard to the inside edge of beanie making sure it is spaced evenly between the two sides. I sewed mine about 1/2 inch up, I like the way it pulls and looks better than attaching RIGHT to the edge.

    Hi there!
    First, thanks for the pattern, I whipped it up and really like it.
    Now, there seems to be a mistake in row 11, where it says “*tc2tog* 10 times over ch”. I’m not sure whether you meant dc2tog 5 times (or maybe tc2tog 5 times!) or if you meant dc 10 times. I tried both and personally preferred to dc 10 times. Or maybe part of the repeat is missing?
    I’m happy with it as it is, but I thought I should point it out 🙂

    • Ashlee

      December 5, 2011 at 11:01 pm

      Your totally right, I meant that to say Dc2tog, not the triple crochet, but double. When I was writing it I tried over and over again to think of the best way to phrase what I did here. Here is the note I added, I hope it helps!

      “you can just dc 10 stitches across the 10 ch space, but I wanted a fuller looking moustache so I “dc2tog” creating basically 20 dc, but brought together in groups of 2 (that’s where you get the 10) for a fuller, “bushier” look. ”

      Does that make ANY sense at all??? I’m still new to writing and sharing my homemade patterns. Thanks for the correction!

    December 5, 2011 at 11:13 pm

    Do you mean crochet 2 dc in each of the 10 stitches? If so, you would write something to the effect of (2dc in next chain) 10 times.
    dc2tog means to decrease by a stitch. 2dc means to increase by a stitch.
    Does that help? 🙂

    Reply
    • Ashlee

      December 5, 2011 at 11:26 pm

      no because we’re not increasing the stitch count. It’s more like making a puff except with dc instead of hdc and with only 2 instead of three of four. I know it’s a terrible way to phrase it. GAH, so annoying. Not in chain itself of course, but in the chain space, working around the whole chain. it’s not a decrease or an increase, just fuller. Am I being more clear or more confusing?

    December 6, 2011 at 1:07 am

    Oh I see now!
    It’s like you’re increasing and decreasing in the same step.
    Is this what you’re doing? Yarn over (YO), insert hook into ring, YO and draw up, YO and pull through first two loops, YO, insert hook into ring, YO and draw up, YO and pull through first two loops, YO and pull through all three loops.
    Now that I realise that’s what you meant, I understand why you said dc2tog! It’s the same thing but worked into the gap instead of into existing stitches. I wonder if there’s a better way to express that or if I’m the only one who didn’t get it, lol!

      YES!!! That’s totally it. I knew it would be confusing and I hoped that the first few people who tried it would help me explain it better!!! I’m glad it wasn’t too painful- just 3 back and forths that’s pretty good! I’ll work more on the phrasing. let me know if you think of a better way to explain it easily!!! I’m SURE you’ll only be the first of many that don’t get it, so no worries!

I’m about 90% done with my first hat and about halfway through the beard – so far I love it and my husband thinks it’s funny – one of them will be for his brother for xmas.
    Thanks for sharing your pattern!

      January 8, 2012 at 11:25 pm

      Funny, the first time I made it, it fit perfectly, the second time WAYYYYYY to bigg! So I’ve had to make the pattern smaller for me! To make it bigger add a few more increase rows. So between row’s 9 and ten if you just need a bit more space. If you need a LOT more space then maybe between rows 5 and 6 when your still increasing twice as often.

      Sure you can use whatever yarn get’s the job done, but you might have to use a bigger hook and cut out a few stitches on either end.

      I put the hat inside out, then wrapped the beard where I wanted it and pinned the beard. Then took it off and sewed it into place. I hope that helps and I’m SO sorry it’s taken me so long to get back to you! What a fun, but crazy time of year!

    The stitch you are using I believe is called a 2dblcrochet cluster, using 2 double crochets to make a cluster rather than 3 or 4.

    I’ve tried twice to make the hat from your pattern, and I’ve checked and double checked the stitch count on both occasions, but the top of the hat always seems to come out flat. The first time, I was using very large, soft yarn… I thought that was the issue. The second time, I used Vanna’s Choice and it is still flat. There is a good downturn at about row 10, but up until that point, it’s mostly flat. Is this because of the yarn, or might I be doing something else wrong?

    Thanks.

    • Ashlee

      March 3, 2012 at 1:46 pm

      that’s totally right, around row ten the sides start. For some people their gauge is larger than mine and you can start the downturn earlier, but as it’s written it’s pretty much flat until row 10. There are lots of different ways to crochet beanies and this is the one I picked for this hat, but you can totally make another version if you have a favorite. for my husband this hat is perfect for me I get rid of row 9 and start the sides earlier, it’s all about preference! Good luck an I hope you like the rest! Your not doing anything wrong.

      CRAP, gauge???? I’m terrible at gauge, the first hat I made was PERFECT, the second was HUGE, beanie are nice cause you can play it by ear, when it get’s wide enough, start the sides, you don’t have to make it like mine, you could do a hdc instead of a dc too, that could help. Also if you have a beanie pattern you already love you can use it as a good base for this!

    Hello, I tried to make the beard beanie and mine turned out WAY to big… I don’t know what I did wrong because I counted every stitch on every round. Any words of advice?

    Reply
    • Ashlee

      July 10, 2012 at 2:48 am

      my second one was WAY too big too, I ended up taking out an increase row, with beanies you just play it by ear, increase until it looks right, then down the sides until it fits right…. I follow basic beanie rules but I probably make it different every time, simple things like yarn, weather, hooks, and how tight or loose I’m crocheting can really change a hat!

    I absolutely love this idea and plan to try it. My family and I snow mobile a lot during the winter and these will be great to cover my small children’s faces. I wonder though, have you thought about the addition of a red bulbuls nose and maybe a more full beard to cover more of your face? I can’t wait to sit down and make a few of these for my winter loving family 🙂

      not yet, I’ve had it done, but finding the time to get it written up, and test it, has been hard these days, I’m SO crazy busy right now… It’s totally in the works though.

    I just want to say how easy this hat was to make. I didn’t have any problems making it. It actually went pretty fast. Being so close to Christmas and a cold winter coming, I know a few people who wold really appreciate a gift from the heart. Thank you for sharing such a nice little work of art.

      That would be awesome! And you could always find a separate pattern for a mustache and attach it over the top!

    Love the look of this pattern. I’ve seen pictures of similar bearded beanies and thought about trying to come up with my own pattern (I probably will some time) but I’m definitely going to make one of these for my husband. Thank you for making an easy to follow pattern.

    I just finished the beanie. I’m making this for my 30 year old daughter. She’s anxious for me to get the beard done so she can wear it and show it off to her roller derby team. I’ll try to post a pic and let you know how everyone liked it. Thanks for sharing.

    Ashlee,, Thank you for your bearded beanie pattern and all the posts… I was given a pattern was missing part of the directions. Of course. Pattern would fit a small child when made. Which was to fit adults.. I made changes to my pattern which have been working on for days. but still not happy with my pattern. Your pattern has cleared up some things for me. Problem still have is not all guys faces are the same so the sizes will be different. The beard need to be adjustable some how. So it won’t look sloppy…Thank you again Regards Barb Anytime Surprises

      you can attach it at different places along the beanie to get a different fit. and you could always try my other pattern, that has multiple sizes. bobble bearded beanie

    I made this according to these directions and it was HUGE! When you say a “dc” (double crochet), do you mean the American dc or the English dc, the latter being a half double crochet?

    • Ashlee

      January 27, 2013 at 1:52 am

      it all depends on the yarn, and how you crochet. I meant american double crochet. The first hat i made, that i wrote the pattern off of was perfect. the second one I made was huge too, try the newer version, i have multiple sizes. And all patterns can easily be changed, a thinner yarn, a smaller hook, taking out a row here and there.

      the second one i made, out of a thicker yarn was also huge. Try going down a yarn weight, or hook size, or simply try a smaller size hat. I have mulitple sizes here on my new bearded pattern

    I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this pattern. I have used it multiple times already. The only change I do is SL ST, CH 2 and DC in the same ST. I think it hides the seam a bit more.

    • Ashlee

      February 18, 2013 at 10:02 pm

      there really isn’t a seam as it’s rows, not a round, and the ends of the rows get hidden when you sew them into the hat I never worried about it. But glad you found something that worked for you. when I’m working in a round I prefer to do it that way as well.

    How would I make the beard longer? My sister in law wants one to fit her newborn but wants a looong beard… would I just add extra rows?

    Reply
    • Ashlee

      August 23, 2013 at 1:53 pm

      this pattern wraps around their face, so you couldn’t really make this one longer. adding rows would just wrap more around the chin/neck. you can use my santa beard pattern and make the loops longer.

    Ashlee, thank you so much for making the bearded beanie pattern available … and free! At the request of my granddaughter, I made a bearded beanie for her husband last Fall. Her sons loved it so I made one for each of them for Christmas. Their middle son is REALLY happy with his, so I took a picture. If love to send you a copy of the photo, but don’t know where to send it.
    Nevertheless, THANK YOU again!

    So… I don’t quite get what to do about the sewing. This is sewing with an actual sewing machine or is there a way to attach them with crochet stitches? I feel like this may be a really dumb question, but I made three of them… for my daughter, niece, and nephew, and I am just a bit stuck with how to actually attach the beard to the beanie. I’d love to be able to somehow crochet them together.

      no machine, just use the hat yarn color and a crochet needle and stitch the beard to the inside brim of the hat
