Easy Peasy Fisherman Beanie | Free Crochet Pattern

The Easy Peasy Fisherman Beanie is a free, beginner friendly crochet pattern that only uses single crochet stitches. It is simple, yet slouchy and modern. This crochet beanie pattern is unisex, but I do think it would be a great mens gift. If you’re still in the beginning stages, this crochet beanie pattern will help you to practice the single crochet stitch while also learning new variations of the stitch. I hope you love this free crochet pattern for the Easy Peasy Fisherman Beanie!

A few years ago I guest posted on the Made With A Twist blog for the 30 Days of Cozy blog hop. And now it’s being featured AGAIN in The Best Of 30 Days of Cozy! This blog hop will feature 60 of the top favorite designs included in the 30 Days of Cozy bundles throughout the years.

My goal with this crochet beanie was to make it look like a fisherman beanie, hence the name.

There are so many options to make this crochet beanie unique to you. From the color, to resizing, and even using different yarn weights, you can customize it the way you like. Because the construction of the Easy Peasy Fisherman Beanie is so simple, you can create this hat using light, medium, bulky, and even super bulky weight yarn!

The free crochet beanie pattern listed below will be for the Easy Peasy Fisherman Beanie using medium weight yarn for an average woman size.

If you’d like to make this hat in a lightweight, bulky, or super bulky yarn in multiple sizes, I’ve put those instructions inside the inexpensive, ad-free PDF. Within the PDF, you will also find color-coded, quick-reference charts that will tell you how many chains you need to start and how many rows for each size and yarn weight. The math has been done for you. Grab a copy here!
