Yarn & Yardage Requirements: fHow Much Yarn Do You Need for the Everley Beanie?
One of the lovely things about this berry stitch crochet beanie pattern is that you don't need a tremendous amount of yarn to create a beautifully textured, cozy hat!
The Everley Beanie uses two colors of medium #4 worsted-weight yarn to create its classic striped design. Color A forms the main textured fabric and folded ribbed brim, while Color B adds contrasting stripes that help the Mini Berry stitches stand out.
Because this textured crochet beanie is available in five sizes, the amount of yarn you'll need will depend on the size you're making. Whether you're crocheting a smaller hat for a child or a larger beanie for an adult, the chart below makes it easy to plan your project.
Approximate Yardage Used
| Size | Color A (Oatmeal) | Color B (Burgundy) |
|---|---|---|
| Child | 125 yd / 115 m | 40 yd / 37 m |
| Teen / Women S | 140 yd / 128 m | 50 yd / 46 m |
| Women M / Men S | 145 yd / 133 m | 50 yd / 46 m |
| Women L / Men M | 160 yd / 147 m | 60 yd / 55 m |
| Men L | 165 yd / 151 m | 60 yd / 55 m |
These estimates include approximately 12–15% extra yarn to account for gauge differences, yarn tails, seaming, and swatching.
A Little Yarn Tip: When choosing colors for your two color crochet beanie, try pairing a soft neutral with a deeper, contrasting shade. This helps the beautiful berry stitch texture shine while giving your finished hat a timeless look.
Of course, you're welcome to experiment with your favorite color combinations to make the Everley Beanie uniquely yours!
Please Note: Actual yarn usage may vary depending on your tension, hook size, and yarn choice. The faux-fur pom-pom is not included in the yardage estimates.

Level of Difficulty - Advanced Beginner
Gauge & Tension
Getting the right gauge is important when making your berry stitch crochet beanie pattern, especially if you want your finished hat to fit comfortably!
Because the Everley Beanie is worked flat in rows, your stitch gauge affects the circumference of the hat, while your row gauge helps determine its height. Taking a few minutes to check your gauge before beginning can save you from ending up with a beanie that's too snug, too loose, or not quite the right length.
Everley Beanie Gauge
13 stitches × 13 rows = 4 × 4 inches (10 × 10 cm)
Measured in the Mini Berry stitch pattern using a 5.5 mm (I/9) crochet hook.
How to Make a Gauge Swatch
Using Color A and your 5.5 mm crochet hook:
Foundation: Ch 21.
Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and across. Turn. [20 sts]
Rows 2–3: Ch 1, sc across. Turn. [20 sts]
Row 4: Ch 1, MB in next st, sc in next st; repeat across. Turn. [20 sts]
Row 5: Ch 1, sc across. Turn. [20 sts]
Repeat Rows 4–5 until your swatch measures at least 6 inches (15 cm).
Measure the center 4 × 4 inches (10 × 10 cm) of your swatch without stretching the fabric.
What If Your Gauge Doesn't Match?
If you have more than 13 stitches within 4 inches, your stitches are too small. Try a slightly larger crochet hook.
If you have fewer than 13 stitches, your stitches are too large. Try a slightly smaller hook.
Remember to check your row gauge, too! If your stitch gauge matches but your row gauge doesn't, your finished beanie may be taller or shorter than expected.
The goal is a fabric that's comfortable, flexible, and beautifully textured while matching the pattern's intended measurements.
Crochet Abbreviations & Stitches Used
The Everley Beanie combines familiar crochet stitches with the lovely raised texture of the Mini Berry stitch. Although the finished hat looks intricate, this textured crochet beanie uses a simple two-row repeat that becomes easier to follow as you work.
This pattern is written in standard US crochet terminology. Turning chains do not count as stitches unless otherwise stated.
Crochet Abbreviations
*Click on abbreviation names for tutorials
- Stitch / stitches (st / sts)
- Slip stitch (sl st)
- Chain stitch (ch/chs)
- Single crochet (sc)
- Back loop only (blo)
- Mini Berry (MB)
- Yarn over (yo)
- * ___ * Repeat indicated instructions
Special Stitch: Mini Berry (MB)
The Mini Berry stitch creates the softly raised texture that gives the Everley Beanie its distinctive appearance.
Mini Berry (MB): Insert hook in indicated stitch and pull up a loop. Yarn over, pull through the first loop on hook 3 times. Yarn over and pull through both loops on hook.
Each Mini Berry counts as 1 stitch. In this pattern, work 1 single crochet in the next stitch after each Mini Berry.
Helpful Stitch Tips
When working the Mini Berry stitch, try to maintain an even tension so the raised stitches remain consistent throughout your beanie.
The ribbed brim uses single crochet stitches worked in the back loop only (BLO) to create its stretchy, ribbed appearance.
If you're new to either technique, practicing a few stitches before beginning your beanie can help you feel more comfortable with the pattern.
Once you've mastered the Mini Berry stitch, you'll be ready to create the beautiful texture and contrasting stripes that make this berry stitch crochet beanie pattern so charming!
How Is the Everley Beanie Constructed?
One of the things that makes the Everley Beanie such an approachable project is its simple, flat construction. If you've ever wanted to make a crochet hat worked flat instead of crocheting in the round, this pattern is a wonderful option!
The Everley Beanie begins as a rectangular panel worked in turned rows. The foundation chain determines the finished circumference of the hat, while the rows build its height from the crown toward the brim.
Once the textured body is complete, a ribbed brim is worked directly along the lower edge using a smaller crochet hook. The brim is crocheted perpendicular to the body, creating beautiful ridges that fold upward for a cozy, classic finish.
After completing the brim, the short side edges are seamed together to form the hat. The foundation-chain edge is then gathered to close the crown, and a fluffy faux-fur pom-pom adds the finishing touch.
The result is a beautifully textured crochet beanie with a folded brim that looks polished without requiring complicated shaping or working in continuous rounds.
You'll find the complete written instructions below, so you can follow along from the first foundation chain to the final stitch!

Everley Beanie Finished Sizes & Measurements
Finding the perfect fit is an important part of making a comfortable, cozy crochet hat! The Everley Beanie comes in five sizes, ranging from Child through Men's Large, making it easy to create a beautifully textured beanie for almost everyone in the family.
This berry stitch crochet beanie pattern is designed with approximately 1–2 inches (2.5–5 cm) of negative ease. That simply means the finished hat is slightly smaller than the head it's meant to fit, allowing the crocheted fabric to stretch comfortably and stay securely in place.
Everley Beanie Size Chart
| Size | Fits Head Circumference | Finished Circumference | Total Height |
|---|---|---|---|
| Child | 19.5–20.5 in / 49.5–52 cm | 18.5 in / 47 cm | 8.5 in / 21.5 cm |
| Teen / Women S | 21.25–22.25 in / 54–56.5 cm | 20.25 in / 51.5 cm | 9 in / 23 cm |
| Women M / Men S | 22–23 in / 56–58.5 cm | 21 in / 53.5 cm | 9.5 in / 24 cm |
| Women L / Men M | 23.25–24.25 in / 59–61.5 cm | 22.25 in / 56.5 cm | 10 in / 25.5 cm |
| Men L | 23.75–24.75 in / 60.5–63 cm | 22.75 in / 58 cm | 10.5 in / 26.5 cm |
How to Choose the Right Size
For the best fit, measure around the widest part of the head, just above the eyebrows and ears. Compare that measurement with the Fits Head Circumference column in the chart above.
If the measurement falls between sizes, I recommend choosing the larger size for a more comfortable fit.
A Little Fit Tip: The Everley Beanie is designed with a folded ribbed brim measuring approximately 2 inches (5 cm) deep. This adds warmth and gives your finished hat its classic, timeless appearance.
Please Note: All finished measurements are approximate. Your yarn choice, crochet tension, and gauge can affect the final size of your beanie.
Additional Notes: Before You Begin
Before you grab your hook and start crocheting your Everley Beanie, take a few minutes to read through these helpful notes. A little preparation now can save you hours of frustration later!
Pattern Notes
- This pattern is written in standard US crochet terminology.
- The hat body is worked flat in turned rows, then seamed. The foundation chain determines the finished circumference, while the body rows determine the hat height.
- Numbers are written in this order: Child (Teen/Women S, Women M/Men S, Women L/Men M, Men L).
- Stitch counts are shown in brackets [ ] at the end of each row as needed.
- Ch 1 at the beginning of a row does not count as a stitch unless stated otherwise.
- Keep turning chains loose so the side edges remain flexible and easy to seam.
- Each Mini Berry (MB) counts as one stitch and is followed by one single crochet.
- Change colors on the final yarn-over of the stitch before the new-color row.
- Carry the unused color loosely up the side edge; this edge will be enclosed in the seam. After the final Color B row, cut Color B as directed.
- Color A is used for the foundation, setup rows, Mini Berry rows, final body row, and brim. Color B is used for the single-crochet stripe rows.
- The ribbed brim is worked directly onto the final body row using the smaller hook. During finishing, it folds to approximately 2 inches (5 cm) deep.
- Choose a finished circumference with approximately 1–2 inches (2.5–5 cm) of negative ease. If the head measurement falls between sizes, choose the larger size.
- To adjust the hat height, add or remove complete pairs of Rows 5–6. Always finish with the final Color A single-crochet row before beginning the brim.
- The sample pom-pom is permanently attached. For a removable pom, use a secure button or compatible snap attachment.
- Follow the yarn-label care instructions. Because the sample pom-pom is not removable, spot clean the finished hat and avoid machine drying the faux fur. Reshape the brim and fluff the pom after drying.
A Helpful Tip Before Starting
Because this crochet hat is worked flat, keeping your stitch count consistent and your edges neat will make assembly much easier. Take your time with the color changes and enjoy watching the beautiful Mini Berry texture develop as you work!

Frequently Asked Questions About the Everley Beanie
Have questions while making your Everley Beanie? These FAQs cover the most common concerns and tips for success.
How to Care for Your Everley Beanie
After putting so much love into crocheting your Everley Beanie, you'll want to keep it looking just as beautiful as the day you finished it!
Because this textured crochet beanie features delicate Mini Berry stitches, a folded ribbed brim, and a fluffy faux-fur pom-pom, a little extra care will help preserve its shape and appearance.
Here are a few simple tips for caring for your handmade beanie:
- Follow your yarn's care instructions. Always check the yarn label for washing and drying recommendations, especially if you've substituted a different yarn.
- Spot clean when possible. If your faux-fur pom-pom is permanently attached, spot cleaning is the best option for keeping it looking its best.
- Avoid machine drying the faux fur. Heat can damage the fibers and affect the pom-pom's fluffy appearance.
- Reshape after cleaning. Gently smooth the textured body and folded ribbed brim back into shape.
- Fluff the pom-pom. Once everything is completely dry, gently fluff the faux fur to restore its fullness.
A Little Tip: If you plan to wash your beanie frequently, consider using a removable pom-pom. This makes caring for your handmade hat much easier!
