Spring Beanie Crochet Pattern | Spring Sprouts Beanie

If you’re looking for a fresh and easy project to transition out of winter, this spring beanie crochet pattern is the perfect place to start. Designed with simplicity in mind, this beanie uses basic double crochet stitches and a soft worsted weight (4) yarn, making it both quick and relaxing to work up.

What truly sets this beanie apart are the charming stacked bean stitch clusters that rise from the brim like tiny plant sprouts—adding just the right touch of texture and seasonal flair. It’s a cozy yet lightweight accessory that captures the spirit of spring in every stitch.

About the Yarn

The yarn I used for the Spring Sprouts Beanie is Two of Wands Color Theory from Lion Brand. My favorite things about this line of yarn are how soft it is and the beautiful rich color options available. All the colors seem to have an earthy tone, which I am really drawn to. I had a hard time picking just a few colors to play with (out of the 24 available options)!

It is also on the lighter side for a medium weight yarn. So, I feel like you might be able to get away with using a heavier size 3 yarn for this pattern and get a similar feel. The combination of how soft this yarn is, plus the lightness of it, gives this hat the most wonderful drape. It is just the soft, airy texture you would want in a Springtime beanie!

How to Crochet the Bean Stitch

Insert hook. Yarn over and pull through the stitch. Yarn over. Insert hook in the same stitch. Yarn over and pull up a loop. You will have 4 loops on your hook. Yarn over. Insert hook in the same stitch. Yarn over and pull up a loop. You will have 6 loops on your hook. Yarn over and pull through all 6 loops on your hook. Chain 1 to finish off the stitch.

Pattern Notes:

I tend to crochet tightly. If you feel you are crocheting more loosely you can move to a smaller hook (or larger if you crochet even more tightly). Some people find they even need to go down two hook sizes to meet my gauge.

Chain at start of each round does not count as a stitch.

For stitch counting purposes: Technically, the bean stitch clusters (2 bean stitches placed in one stitch) are made of 2 stitches because there is not a chain 1 in between. For the purposes of keeping these clusters narrow, I don’t want to add that chain 1. Since they still cover the space of 3 stitches (since there is a sk before and after the cluster), we will count the clusters as 3 stitches instead of 2.

Pattern:

Round 1: Fhdc 65. The row of stitches should be approximately 18” long. Join with a sl st to first fhdc to create a circle. Use the starting chain and a yarn needle to connect the lower ends of the round together beneath the join. <65>

If you prefer to use the starting chain method, ch 65. Join to the first ch to make a circle. Ch 1. Hdc in each st around. Join with a sl st to first hdc. <65> Note that this will make the band less stretchy than the foundation stitch method.
