I’m on a roll with making crochet striped beanies! This time I added a round of cluster stitches to the stripe that look like sweet little hearts. I actually surprised myself with how simple this was to design and make!
Pattern below is for newborn to adult sizes and I’ve included a video tutorial for the heart stripe to clear up any confusion. It’s the season of love and you will need this pattern on your hook for all your valentines.
I am using Red Heart with Love Yarn in colors Berry Red, Eggshell White, and Sweet Pink. You can use these interchangeably for all the parts of the hat but the tutorial below will use the sweet pink as the main color. I’m also using these colors (plus bubble gum) for my Valentine Granny Stitch Blanket so be sure to pick up multiple skeins of this yarn! It’s super soft and snuggly.
You can shop all these colors HERE on Yarnspirations.com!
NOTE: Red Heart with Love yarn in color Sweet Pink is currently not listed on the Yarnspirations website. But it’s available in a 3-pack in the Red Heart Store on Amazon.com!

Hearts in a Stripe Hat Pattern
Note: Pattern works from the top down
Special Stitch = Heart Cluster
Yarn over pull through first stitch, pull through 2 loops (making the first half of your DC), yarn over and pull up through same stitch, pull through 2 loops, you should now have 3 loops on your hook, working in the next stitch repeat the same 2 stitches so you have 5 loops on your hook. Yarn over and pull through all 5 stitches.
Special Stitch = Elongated Double Crochet (Long DC)
When you are working your DC stitches between the heart clusters, one of your double crochets will reach down to the previous round. Yarn over pull through bringing up that loop up to the height of the double crochet before it. Yarn over pull through two loops. Yarn over pull through last two loops.
I got over the special stitches for the row of hearts in the video tutorial below:
NOTE: When you finish the round of heart clusters and you have an extra stitch at the end without enough room to make one more heart, go ahead and make a DC to finish the round. You want to have the same amount of stitches as your last increase round.

RIBBED BORDER:
Please be sure and watch THIS TUTORIAL from my friend Daisy Farm Crafts on how to make a single crochet ribbed border. I love this technique because you don’t need to sew the ribbing on separately, it is crochet right onto the edge of the hat! It’s basically a chain 7 (or however long/short your want your ribbed border), SC in each chain until you get back to the hat edge, slip stitch in two stitches along the hat edge and then SC in the back loops of the ribbing and repeat. She has a VERY easy tutorial to follow and you can use this border on many different projects.
When you’ve finished the ribbed border along the edge of the hat you can slip stitch the seam together.
Add a Pom-Pom! I love THIS multi pack of fur poms from Amazon (affiliate link). They have multiple colors and a little loop underneath that you can sew onto the top of your hat.
Buy these pom-poms HERE. $15 for 20 of them!

Round 10 says 68 stitches while round 11 says sc in each stitch and 64 stitches
Linda J Versyn says
Adult size
Josee says
I’m confused as well… It also repeats round 10 (the one with 68 DC and after, it’s round 10 again with the change of colour).
Daphne says
Hi!
I’m having trouble with the toddler size – at the end of round 4 I have 48 stitches (pattern says I should have 44) but I ended the round at the stitch marker after doing an inc, 2 dc around. Which, in turn, messes up round 5 because I do the inc, 10 dc but I’m left with 4 un-worked stitches before I hit the stitch marker.
Thanks!
Diana says
you have to many at end of round 4-you should have only 44.The counts are 11-22-33-44-Hope this helps

Nice post . Thank you for posting something like this
Kelly Hoffer says
I did the adult pattern, well both my girlfriend and I, we did the adult teen hat and assumed the pattern should stay 68 stitches.
We followed exactly But this hat at the end of round 1-6 is already below the ears, this hat is too long.
So bummed, I wanted this work!
Kelly Hoffer says
Sorry, rounds 15-16
Sharon says
The hat is too long to add the ribbed border. I made the child size and just added earflaps and braids.
Christina Gonzales says
Thanks for your comment! I’m dealing with the same issue for kid size kinda bummed. I’ll have to try and figure out how to add the ear flaps
Judith says
Same! I think I’m going to go down on the hook size so the hat will be smaller.
mapquest driving directions says
Thanks for everyone’s interesting and useful sharing, I will visit often to find the necessary information.
Karla Garcia says
The hat size for teen/adults is too large! I even eliminated 2 increases on the last row of increases and it was still too large. I could tell it would be too long as well. Will have to undo for the 2nd time.
o says
Thanks for sharing your experience!

Lucky me I recently found your website
Diana says
is there any kind of gauge for this> It seems I am not the only one having trouble with size-Except I’m doing child and have none to try it on so I’d like some kind of gauge. I’m getting 3 1/8 inches at end of round 3-and 13 dc to the inch-but it does look big.

Can you record a video of the band? I haven’t been successful with the tutorial you linked to the end 🙁

Very cute hat! I’m making the teen/adult size for myself. Since the comments above have said that it runs long, I guess I’ll have to make the rim shorter. Also, love the video on making the hearts but……can you also make a video on how to do the joins and starting of each of the heart rows? Happy Crocheting. Thank you.
Miriam says
I would like to make a hat like this for my grandson but I am not sure what colors to use for a boy.

I made 3 of the hearts in a row beanies in just 2 days. For the girls I made one with white & one with pink. For my nephew I made his with gray. The pattern was so easy to follow & turned out fantastic! Wish I had more recipients because I’d love to keep making more.
Meredith Thomas says
I made the adult size and I have a smaller head. It worked out perfectly!! Sooo cute!! (And I am not that great at reading patterns) I did it in school team colors! So cute I will be doing more 🙂
Karen says
I’d like to share how I do my joins when switching color rounds. On the last stitch of the round, I join the new color on the last step of that stitch, then join to the first stitch of previous round as usual. Looks so much better than any ways I’ve seen.
