3…2…1… BLAST OFF! Get ready to explore outer space with this Crochet Astronaut Helmet! A perfect prop for your kids dress-up trunk. Made with Bernat Blanket Yarn, this pattern works up extremely quickly and couldn’t be easier. I made it in a “one size fits all” format. Although you could add on more rounds to make bigger.
Materials:
- Yarnspirations Bernat Baby Blanket Yarn in white. I used two skein of white (see HERE).
- Worsted weight yarn in gray. I used Bernat Super Value in Soft Gray (and a bit of red and blue for the embellishments)
- Size K crochet hook
- Large tapestry needle
Abbreviations:
Magic Ring
DC = Double Crochet
Astronaut Helmet Pattern:
With Bernat Blanket Yarn in white
Magic ring, chain 2 and make 15 DC in ring, join to first DC, chain 2
Round 2: 2 DC in each stitch around, join, chain 2 (30 DC)
Round 3: 2 DC in first stitch, DC in next, join, chain 2 (45 DC)
Round 4-6: DC in each stitch around, join, chain 2 (45 DC)
Row 7: DC in first 30 stitches, leave remaining stitches unworked, chain 2, turn (30 DC)
Row 8-10: DC in each of the 30 DC stitch from previous row, chain 2, turn (30 DC)
at the end of row 10 chain 15 and join to beginning of row 10. Now we are going to work in rounds instead of rows.
Round 11: DC in each stitch around (making a DC in each of the chain stitches), join, chain 2 (45 DC)
Round 12: DC in each stitch around, join, chain 1 (45 DC)
Round 13: Slip stitch in each stitch around, join, fasten off and weave in ends.
With two strands of gray worsted weight yarn, join to edge of face opening. SC in each stitch around. Fasten off and weave in ends.
Add embellishments like “USA” or “NASA” by making chains of 10-15 and sewing them on in letters. Blue circles are just a magic with 10 SC in it.
My 5-year-old was asking me a lot of questions about aliens yesterday and insisted we needed to ask the astronauts some questions. So big brother helped him write a note to the astronauts 🙂 Now I need to figure out how to get this to NASA!
“Dear Astronauts,
My brother Chase wants to know if there are aliens in outer space? He also wants to know if aliens are real? He wants to know how they look like? We love astronauts!
From Micah (age 7) and Chase (age 5)”
One size fits all! Same helmet on all of us!

This is so cute! Love the look of the blanket yarn in this!
What kind of hook did you use? I just started crocheting and I have a set of metal Boye tapered hooks and a set of larger Susan Bates acrylic inline hooks. I like the inline hook, but prefer the smoothness of the metal. I’ve been looking for some metal inline hooks with nicer/more ergonomic handles (like the one in your pictures), but haven’t been able to find any. Do you have any suggestions?
Can you help me find a substitute for the blanket yarn?? I don’t have the right kind and I need it now!!! It will be too late by the time I pay for it online and it ships here.
Loovvee it!!!! Just finished making one for my younger brother as a Christmas gift. Very cute pattern. My brother will love it.
Thank you!!!
BTW, I found a substitute for the yarn.
Hi,
My son wrote a letter similar. Asking questions. I addressed it to
NASA
c/o astronauts
Houston, TX.
I can’t remember the exact address but you can Google it easily. They sent a nice letter back and encouraged him. He also got a signed picture of the most recent team. My boy is 25 and still has the letter and picture. Glad the brother’s help each other. Go for it, mom. To infinity and beyond!

This is best pattern yet, my son’s girlfriend wanted one of these for a 4 yr old and I thought I would try it. The 1rst one was okay, but I didn’t use the recommended size yarn. I decided to double-up on the yarn to see how it would come out and it was great!!
This was very helpful! Thank you so much for this!

I need a pattern for a newborn, do you have that?
Custom helmets really look nice and we have a choice to make the right one according to the needs. But the way pickweldinghelmet.com is working also appreciatable.
