Notes
Yarn Choices: I used acrylic yarn for this free crochet checkered hat pattern, but any type of yarn—like cotton or wool—would work well. Just adjust the stitch count and rows as needed.
Sizing Information: By using a 5.5mm hook, my crochet rectangle for the beanie pattern measures roughly 14 inches by 22 inches. I would say my head is about medium-sized, so it should fit an adult medium/large. If you need to adjust the height or length to fit someone’s head, please do so!
Child Size Adjustments: If you’re making this crochet checkered beanie pattern for a child, I recommend chaining 25-37 (you want the chain to be divisible by 4 + 1) and then following the pattern as normal, but only doing 30-35 rows. Adjust as needed, as it all depends on the child's age. I have never made this hat for a child, so please keep size in mind; these suggestions may need to change.
Instructions
For this crochet rectangle beanie pattern, we will be working in rows.
Row 1: With either color yarn (I started with pink), ch x41, turn.
Row 2: In the second chain from the hook, make a hdc. Then continue to make 2 more hdc in pink. Now you should have 3 pink hdc. Make a fourth pink hdc but when going through all the loops on the hook yarn over with the second yarn color, then go through the loops. Now you should have the second yarn color on your hook. Make 4 more hdc stitches, and in the last hdc switch the yarn color to your first yarn color.
Repeat making hdc for the rest of the row, but continue to switch colors every 4 stitches. At the end of the row do not switch the color, instead ch x1 and turn (40).
(The ch is a turning ch, you will be making these every row but do not work in them!)
Row 3: In blo, hdc for the entire row, remember to switch colors every 4 stitches (40). You want this row to stack the same colors on top of the last row's stitches to create a square. Then in the last stitch change the yarn color before you ch x1 and turn.
Row 4-5: In blo, hdc for the entire row, remember to switch colors every 4 stitches. These 2 rows should create squares opposite from rows 2 and 3. So the pink squares should be over the white and vice verse.
Row 6-45: Repeat row 2-5 as many times as you need to create a nice sized rectangle. I did 44 rows of hdc, or 22 checkered spaces across.
Use more or less rows depending on the size of the hat you are trying to achieve.
Finishing:
Fasten off the yarn and weave in any ends. Then you want to fold the rectangle in half and sew/crochet it shut with one of the two colors you used to crochet the hat with.
After the side of the hat has been sewn shut, take the yarn and cinch the top of the hat shut. Fasten off and weave in the end.
Once that is done, flip the hat inside out so now the sewn edges are on the inside of the hat.
And there you have it—your crochet checkered beanie is complete! Just weave in any loose ends, flip the brim up a few inches, and you’re all set to rock your stylish new accessory.
