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!

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.

    Are you really suppose to repeat row 10? Won’t the hat keep getting wider and wider. On the toddler hat, shouldn’t you repeat the last increase row? Thanks!

    how many rows of the red would I need to do for an adult? I am a very visual learner and could never read a pattern. A friend asked me to make your bearded beanie and I decided to take on the challenge! I am proud to say that I was able to figure it out (slowly but surely) and it turned out adorable! Love your posts! Thanks!

      for an adult I’d do one more row of increase at the crown before starting the sides. I usually get the length from trial and error, just keep trying it on while you make it until it’s the right length for you (remembering to leave about an 1 1/2 inches to switch back to the white yarn)

      I didn’t use my puffball maker, instead I just looped it around my fingers a few times, tied it in the center tight and pulled my fingers out. I’ts not very full, or even, but I liked the way it looked keeping the loops!

      That’s such a hard question to answer since every child has such a different shaped face and head. it works best when you have a model that you can try it on while you work. But my guess would be
      baby – 0-1
      toddler 1-3
      child 3-10
      but again it can go either way, my 1 year old was totally too big for the baby, but my niece would probably fit the baby size until she was 2, I’m sorry I don’t have better guesses than that. That’s the worst part about designing for babies, they are so DIFFERENT in their sizes!

      I believe you do the SC coming from the back instead of going in the front. There should be 24 stitches instead of 48 after row 21 to accommodate for the larger yarn.

        December 9, 2013 at 10:26 pm

        I’m not sure what you mean by back, you do the ch 2, skip 1 stitch and sl st all the way around so you end with just as many ch 2 spaces as you have sl st’s

    Hello, I have made quite a few of these hats in each size, so cute! The problem I am having is the hats being too small because of the slip stitch. Not sure what is going wrong. Made toddler size for my 2 year old and slip stitch made it so tight. Any suggestions?

      December 9, 2013 at 10:01 pm

      I think you did that row wrong, its ch 2 skip one and sl st all the way around, so you’ll have just as many ch 2 spaces and sl st’s, so it shouldn’t be tight

      If you slacken the slip stitch it should be okay. One slip stitch should be equal to the length of two stitches in the hat.

    Hello!

    The santa hat and beard is awesome!! I am currently making one for my 3 year old and am using the child size pattern (he’s got a big head ;)) I have a quick question about row 27:ch2, skip1 slip stitch around. Do I just slip stitch around? The reason I ask is in row 28 you say to sc in each 2ch spaces around…soooo do you ch2, skip 1 and then slip stitch? Thanks for any help that you can provide!

    Happy Holidays!

        Very excited to make this for my son, but I’m having trouble with the medium size beard. It says to do 21 double loop sc but it says you should have 25 loops made? And when I make 25 and get to the decrease rows, I have extra stitches… Very confused! Please help. Thanks!!

      • Ashlee

        January 12, 2014 at 2:33 pm

        sc, is one stitch, then 23 double loops across (it did say 21, but it was incorrect thanks for bring it to my attention), then a final sc, that add’s up to 25 stitches, only 23 of them are the double loops you want to start and end each row with a sc for strength.

    I’ve started, torn out and restarted your pattern a few times now. You’ve got rows 2-4 sticking with 8 stitches though when I stitched it out, I ended up with a really awkward looking tube and the following rows with the increases just looked wrong. Is that an error in the pattern or am I reading that wrong?!

      January 12, 2014 at 2:04 pm

      I was going for an elfish kind of shape to the santa hat. It’s a tight beanie (so it would stay on his head well) but I wanted it bit to stick out and fold over like a santa hat would, so yes, it’s a tube at the end.

    Hi – I love the beard. I had never tried the double loop before, so thank you for introducing me to it. I’m having trouble doing it left handed. Are you able to do it both right and left handed? Is there another way I could do it?

    Oh, and I am making it for my adult son who wants a long beard. Would I just add a few extra rows?

    Thank you!

      It just takes some practice, but yes, I do it with both hands, in both directions. For a longer beard you can pull the loops out more, adding extra rows won’t get longer, just wrap around the face more.

    I’m trying to make the beard for my 16 year old son and I can’t wrap my mind around the loops. I’ve you tubed how to do them, but I don’t see where there is a mouth spot and don’t I need to do some kind of a row first to attach the loops? I’ve been struggling and don’t normally reply, but he really would like a beard and I’d love to be able to make him one. You do awesome things!!!

      there is a first row, in fact there are 2 rows of regular stitches before you start the double loops. as for the mouth hole in row 9 of the medium beard it says “ch 8, skip 9 stitches” this is where the hole comes in, in the next row you create the mustache working in that chain.

      the white yarn is so much thicker than the read that you can’t just switch from one to the other. So in row 23 your creating larger spaces so that in row 24 you can attach the larger yarn using the larger hook.

    I love this pattern and this stitch, my problem/question is: I used the extra small loop beard figuring that must be the one to use for a baby of 6 months, but now thinking i might should have used the other one. When I tried it on my granddaughter to model it, I noticed she did not like the beard. SO I am not one that usually makes up patterns but was thinking about putting to 1 inch white buttons in the white furry part of the hat and then chaining a couple of loops on each side of the beard so the beard could be attached for photos but then unattached and worn as a hat. Any suggestions? What do you think?
    BTW, based on letting the beard hang a little further down by attaching it by a chain and by buttons, I sewed up the mouth hole to let this come to the baby’s chin instead. Again, any comments, ideas you have would be appreciated.

      I would like to send you a picture of how I took your pattern and put buttons on it so the beard can be removed. How can I do that?

        I’ve used that technique before my self so I know how it’s done, but thank you. I just choose not to use it cause I don’t WANT my kids taking it off, and with the aspergers they are sensitive to irritation like buttons

    Do you have to do it left handed? I just can’t seem to get the hang of it.

      I couldn’t do it either, so I just done that row with sc’s…and then on the next row, just made the loops a little longer…worked for me.

        I’m glad it worked for you. I will say the left handed does take me about twice as long as the righthanded, but I LOVE the end result!

    • Ashlee

      February 1, 2015 at 12:11 am

      like I say in the pattern “IF you have a hard time with the left handed loop rows simply do an SC row instead”. Personally I like doing every row of loops so that the beard is nice and full. I am working on a video to help.

    I think there is a mistake on medium size beard on the row where you chain. I did loop stitch 8 times chained 8 skipped 9 and loop stitch 8 times. Maybe I read it wrong.

      February 1, 2015 at 12:55 am

      why do you think it’s wrong? didn’t it end up correctly? You want to skip more than your creating because that is what creates the mouth shape, larger, rounded bottom, tighter straight across the lip.

    LOVE LOVE THIS HAT… I can’t wait for my kiddo to wear it! Thank you for the pattern … But I’m confused about the beard part …. What do you mean by left and right hand? Does it just mean to turn your work at the end of each row?

    Reply
    • Ashlee

      February 1, 2015 at 1:47 am

      No – ideally you change hands every row to keep the loops all on one side. If you can’t do the left handed version then you can turn your work, but don’t do a loop just do a row of sc. I explain in the “stitch abbreviation section” before the patterns each start

    Oh my goodness! Made the toddler size for my 15 month old son. The absolute cutest! I opted to use the regular bobble beard instead of the loop, and crocheted a white bobble-ball for the top of the hat.

    I can’t do the left handed for anything but doing a sc row looked funny so I finally decided to just finish off at the end of every row and start over. There’s more loose ends to hide but it was the best compromise I could find for my lack of left handed skills.

    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!

      you attache the beard in the front of the hat on both sides, so you can still fit it on
