Double Loop Crochet Santa Beard Pattern – multiple sizes

How adorable is this crochet Santa beard and beanie? I mean seriously one of the most fun patterns – perfect for the Holidays AND keeping warm!

When I wrote this patterm two years ago I only wrote two child sizes – and since then I’ve gotten a ton of requests for larger patterns. SO I made some…

All the Beanie patterns AND Beard patterns made this post too long, so I separated it – the FIVE sizes of Santa Hats are moved to a new post.

So last year I did the reindeer beanie for Baby Boy, THIS year I was having so much fun with my bearded beanies that I decided he needed a bearded Santa’s hat!

My sweet niece is rocking the reindeer, making them the perfect pair this holiday season!

I went through a few designs when I was first starting this bearded hat. I tried using Fun Fur with my basic beard pattern thinking it would make a fun beard.  I think think looks great, BUT annoyed Baby Boy to no end, all that fur in his mouth and tickling his nose, I hadn’t even though of that!

I still wanted that furry look than my bobble beards so I decided to try a different stitch – the double loop. It’s perfect, I switched the beanie over to a double loop as well and voila – perfection!

How to get Double Loops every row

Working in a round it’s easy to get the loops on the front of your piece – by working from the back. But when working in rows it’s harder.

You could simply do a sc row between every loop row, but with this thick yarn there are only a few rows, if every other one was an SC there would be WAY less loops.

SO I decided to create a loop row every row, meaning I did a right handed loop row, then a left handed loop row. Just go slow and you’ll get it.

IF you have a hard time with the left handed loop rows you can stick with an SC row between OR you cut the yarn and restart it and go in the same direction every row.
