Chunky Snow Beanie Crochet Pattern

Snow Beanie Hat free Crochet Pattern

The Olympic Winter games have been so fun to watch! And every crocheter is eyeing those cute crochet or knit hats! Every one of them I look at and think “I could totally make that!”. I’m sure everyone else is thinking the same thing. This Chunky Snow Beanie Crochet Pattern is inspired by the USA snowboarders hat worn by Chloe Kim.

I already had a pattern written up called “The Snow Beanie” that I published back in December. See pattern here. The Snow Beanie uses the camel stitch and makes it look knitted. I LOVE this stitch. It is half double crochet stitches make in the third loop. I have several patterns written with this stitch. After watching the Olympics, I knew that The Snow Beanie would be perfect replica of the snowboarders hat, but using chunky yarn.

The difference between this pattern and the original Snow Beanie hat is the yarn, crochet hook, and amount of stitches/rows. I also changed the closing of the top to use single crochet together stitches. This helps give it a nice clean closure to the top.

This hat also works up FAST! Complete the look with a loose pom pom on top. The pom pom is made with less yarn so it’s not real full, like the Olympic Hats. You could also finish with adding a cloth tag.

I would love to see photos of your work! Please tag me on any of my social media accounts. I also check my email at least once a day. Happy Hooking!

I have been crocheting since I was a child. My huge love for crochet has opened this opportunity to teach others through this blog and online learning.

  1. Hi there, can you please explain the part where you close the top by ch 1 and sc4tog 6 times. when I do this 6 times I ams left with quite a few rows before I get back to the start again. Should I do this What am I not doing right?? Thanks.

    1. Are you making more than 24 rows? 6 x 4 is 24 so should come out even if you are placing the stitches at the end of the rows

      1. Thanks for your quick response. I didn’t count the rows I just carried on until I had reached 20” so I guess that is why it didn’t work out. So what it works out as is 8 x 4 (i have more rows). So from here is says to use a wide needle to close the top. Is this where I would slip stitch the top closed and then I can add a pompom? sorry just not been crocheting for very long.

        1. Oh that make sense. Honestly I would do what you said sc4tog 8 times. Then yes, use a needle to close the top. Just weave in and out of the sc4togs that you just made. Pull it tight. Weave in and out of the center to secure it closed. Then sew on the pom pom. Make sense?

          1. thank you and yes that makes perfect sense now. Will be finishing it off tonight. 🙂

    2. I hope that helps Kay! If not please let me know

  2. For rows 2-24 do I crochet in back loop only to get the rib pattern?

    1. You are crocheting in the third loop (camel stitch) of the hdc. Which faces you. There’s a video under the Camel Stitch Fingerless Gloves

  3. So do you have a pattern for a child size of this hat?

    1. I do not but definitely could be adjusted easily for a child. I have a chart for hat sizes and you could make it based off the chart. Try searching in the search bar. Or you can message me in my Facebook group and I can share the chart. I hope that helps!

  4. Hi! When i offered my daughter to make her a chunky hat, she went on Pinterest and chose this pattern! I have slightly thinner yarn (#5) and a smaller hook, so I want to make it by using your measurements instead of counting stitches. I’m clear about the width, but unsure about the length. Is it 11″ + 2.5″ for the brim (for a total of 13.5″), or do you simply mean that the total length is 11″ and 2.5″ will be folded up to make the brim? Thanks!

    1. Hi Claude! I actually have this same pattern that uses #5 yarn called the snow beanie. Just search for it in the search bar. It used Lion Brand Scarfie yarn. And the total length is 11.5” which includes the folded up brim. Most adult hats are about 8.5” height. I hope that helps!

  5. Thank you for your beautiful beanie and pattern. I have a question on the finishing row. You state to fold the beanie in half and slip stitch all the way across. Do you mean a simple slip stitch like when finishing off a project? Thank you kindly for answering my silly question!

    1. Yes, ma’am just slip stitch through both rows in each stitch to close the beanie.

  6. I made the adult size using the wool ease yarn. I had to switch to a 10 mm hook because the 9 mm was just making it too small. Even then, the hat is really too small for my adult head. But the hat came out great and I had enough yarn left to make a sloppy pom pom. The video for the foundation stitch was extremely helpful. Another video showing how you slip stitch the edges together would be welcome. Thank you for sharing this pattern.

  7. How did you make the Pom Pom?

    1. I wrapped the remaining yarn around a mini ipad. tied the center then cut the loops
