Uddybende information
The Blake Beanie is a cozy, chunky hat designed with simplicity and style in mind — perfect for beginners and experienced crocheters alike. Crafted using bulky weight yarn, this beanie works up quickly with a beautiful knit-look texture that mimics the traditional knit stitch using only basic crochet techniques. The pattern uses just two stitches: the Yarn Over Slip Stitch (YO SS) and the standard Slip Stitch (SS), creating a modern, ribbed effect.
The Blake Beanie is made using Udon yarn from Hobbii, a luxuriously thick yarn perfect for keeping warm on chilly days. Alternatively, you can use yarn substitutes like Molly, Milky Way, Umami, or Amigo Giga, all classified as super bulky weight #6 yarns. For added convenience, you can also double-strand a worsted weight yarn to achieve the desired thickness.
Crocheted with a 15 mm hook, and an 8 mm hook for ribbing and shaping, this beanie offers a snug, structured fit. The switch to the smaller hook for the first and last few stitches in each row ensures a secure and flattering shape around the head. The pattern includes built-in decreases for a perfect crown fit and is finished by seaming the edges with a slip stitch and closing the top with a tapestry needle. For extra flair, you can add a pom-pom to the top.
The Blake Beanie comes in multiple sizes: Child (3–6 years and 6–10 years), Adult S–M, and Adult L–XL. Yarn usage ranges from 80g to 120g depending on size. The pattern is designed to be easily adjustable in both length and width, allowing for a fully customized fit.
Whether you’re looking to use up leftover yarn or create a heartfelt handmade gift, the Blake Beanie is a quick and satisfying project that brings warmth and joy with every stitch.
