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!

free pattern for this crochet double loop bearded santa beanie

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 don't think it gets much more adorable than beards on kids, come get this free crochet pattern

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!

I originally tried fuzzy yarn, then the bobble, but the double loop just works best for these bearded santa hats

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.

      as long as they link to my post and take their own pictures, I allow people to sell products based on my patterns but thank you for looking out for me, if they ever use pictures of my kids or sell my patterns I def want to know about it so I can go after them.

    I am having a difficult time with row 34 for an adult size. By any chance have you done a video for the santa beard hat?

    Thanks so much for the adorable patterns! I made one for each of my grandsons (3 and 6) – I ended up putting velcro on the beards so that they can wear the hats with or without the beards!

    have been unable to find and purchase the baby soft in cotton ball. Can you recommend another yarn? Thank you!

      any soft yarn that you’d be willing to use on a baby’s face is fine.

    Hi Ashlee,
    I love the Santa beard and hat for toddlers. I’m wondering do you also make and sell them? I’m looking for something fun like this for my son Christmas Photos this year.

      I don’t – just offer the pattern. I know a lot of sellers on etsy use my stuff though

    I as well had issues doing left-handed stitch on beard but instead of single crochet row I just slip-stitched back. Worked great!
