I recently posted a pattern for a blanket using the bean stitch. (see it here) I knew I had to make a hat out of it! And a slouchy beanie at that! Pattern below is for the Coffee Bean Slouchy Beanie Crochet Pattern.

The bean stitch isn’t really a form of the single crochet, but isn’t really a half double crochet either. It is mostly made up of several loops. These loops give it pretty textures. See “stitches used” section for how to make the bean stitch.

Since the bean stitch is best worked in back and forth rows, you must turn to get the zig zag effect. Which is not usual for hats. Read the pattern carefully for where to place the stitches.

The brim on this pattern uses the camel stitch which is made in the third loop of the hdc. I like the looks of this one. I have changed up the brim on several different hat patterns to simply show you the difference. You may use whatever you prefer for the brim. Just remember that the hdc camel stitch does not stretch as much as the BLO single crochet brim. I usually make my BLO sc brims 16″. The camel stitch brim in this one is 19″ to fit a 21-22″ adult head.

I used BLO single crochet brim on The Ana Beanie, see the pattern here. I used BLO slip stitch on the Braided Cable Beanie, see the pattern here.

If you would prefer to not have the hat slouchy, eliminate 2 rows to be about 8.5″ long. Pattern is for adult size but could easily be adjusted smaller.

Pattern Notes

• Because the Bean Stitches are made to be worked back and forth, we will be turning on each row of the hat.
• Bean Stitches are placed in the space after the Bean Stitch from the previous row, see photos for guidance.
• The last Bean Stitch of the row is placed in the join space from the previous row.
• If you prefer a hat that is not slouchy, eliminate 2 rows of the beanie. Stop at row 12 instead of 14.
