It’s my favorite time of year! Fall and football season! Being from Seattle we are big Seahawks fans and look forward to game days each week. This is the part where I have to show off a family photo of us from last Sunday as we were cheering on the Seahawks from our couch 🙂
I thought I would share this basic pattern with you so you can create your own game day beanie!
I am going to write this out as a basic beanie pattern which you have probably seen before as the base pattern for many of my other hats. I will also note where you can change color and how to add the team logo.
And here is my tiniest fan watching her first Seahawks game in her new beanie!
Before we begin let me remind you of some basic directions you should follow while crocheting my hats:
– Always start your rounds in the same stitch as your chain.
– Always join your rounds to the first DC, NOT the chain.
– Your last stitch should be in the stitch before your chain.
– Do NOT count the chain 2 as a stitch.
– Always join your rounds to the first DC, NOT the chain.
– Your last stitch should be in the stitch before your chain.
– Do NOT count the chain 2 as a stitch.
(You can find pictures of how to start and join your rounds HERE)
Materials:
– Worsted weight yarn in your team colors
– Crochet hook size H-8 (5.0 mm)
– Tapestry needle
Abbreviations:
ch – chain
sl st- slip stitch
SC – Single Crochet
SC Decrease – Single Crochet Decrease
DC – Double Crochet
Magic Ring – Find a great tutorial including video HERE
WHERE TO CHANGE COLOR: You will want to leave 2 rows of the main color on the bottom. So whichever size you are working on, count up from the bottom before you start and make sure you know where to begin your color change. You should have 5 rows of different color: 3 rows of one color where the logo will go and an accent color that will be on either side of the middle stripe.
Sometimes on the smaller hats I like to do a row of SC with my accent color like the green stripes in the hat pictured. Just make sure that if you want to switch a row from DC to SC that you will need to add on one additional row of SC (2 rows of SC = 1 row of DC).

Now lets talk about the logo. I purchased the Seahawks Iron-on logo from Amazon. I know you can find many other teams iron-on logos on Amazon as well. I cut a piece of felt a little larger than the logo and sewed it on to the hat with a tapestry needle. Then I hot-glued the iron-on to the top of the felt. Obviously you should probably avoid washing the hat in a washing machine. I would recommend hand washing only, or not washing it at all.
If you can’t find an iron-on, you can also cut your teams logo out of felt and sew it on with a tapestry needle. Print out your teams logo from Google Images and use it as a template first. This is what I did with this Washington Huskies Beanie:

What a wonderful family picture. I love it!! Love to you all and thank you for sharing your beautiful family with all of us.
Great family picture! what an adorable baby love that hat!
Lovin' your fun hats and it pains this Eagles fan to say it looks like you have a really good team this year! Enjoy:@)
Help……..I am a beginner @ crocheting, and I get lost on the ear flaps……after rows 3,5,7,9, it does not say chain one, turn…..what do we do?? I am at the end of row 3- 10 single crochets
Add the chain one, turn at the end of each of those rows.
What is the gauge for the pattern? I made the toddler's size and it fit me.
Love that you guys are Seahawk fans. Superbowl champs!!!! About time too I must say.
What actual yarn did you use for the seahawks colors?
I know that she uses a lot of Vannas, as do I. I *think* the colors are : colonial blue, fern, dark heather grey, and pink. I think.
Hello, what I’m gonna try to do with the logo is print it on iron on printer paper and then cut felt just a tad bit bigger than the iron on and then iron the iron on onto the felt and then sew the felt to the hat. Or you could always look for a cloth logo to sew on. I want to be able to wash it. Thanks for the cute pattern!!
Awesome! The little Seahawks hat caught my eye..I need one for my littlest ..a girl due in Feb! We are Hawks fans living in MN..lol.
I always follow every post with pleasure and it is always perfect.
hi… i’m just wondering.. I made the teen/adult size beanie but found it a little snug… is there a way to adjust for another round of increase?
I agree! I made it and it seems like it’ll fit *maybe* a 10 year old or so?
I’m not sure what my issue is, but the adult size when I made it seems like it will *maybe* fit a 10 year old?
