Rapids Beanie Free Crochet Pattern – Adult Sizes

The Rapids Beanie is also a great stashbuster! Almost every worsted weight yarn will work well for this hat. Gather up your scraps and make hats for the whole family. This crochet hat is great for gifting, everyday cold-weather wear and for charity.

Last week Friday I released the Rapids Beanie pattern in child sizes as part of the Christmas Hat CAL I am hosting with my friend Katie from Salty Pearl Crochet.

Many of you asked for the adult size and here it is! I made a smaller and bigger size, women’s and men’s if you will, for a custom fit.

I love how simple and quick this crochet hat pattern worked up. The whole thing is entirely made of double crochets! I just changed up what loop you crochet into to get this interesting texture.
