Grab the free crochet hat pattern to make your own bold, thick and super warm Uri Beanie. Designed during 2021 Winter Storm Uri!

If you didn’t already know I live in Texas. And living in Texas the past week hasn’t been the most fun. In fact, Texas has been a total mess.

Honestly, I’ve hardly had the times that you might have seen in the photos online. My ceiling fans don’t look like crazy ice sculptures. I was able to go to the grocery store and get everything on my list yesterday. And my power wasn’t out long enough for it to get so cold that the olive oil on my kitchen counter could freeze solid.

But it did get cold. And it was isolating not having any cell service to see how things were going with my family in West Texas and Oklahoma. And it wasn’t fun dealing with a busted pipe on the side of my house, in the dark in single digit weather. I was amazed at how warm the water was. But I don’t think it was warm, I think my body was just super soaked and confused :)

Inside and not soaking wet the next day, I realized that I really needed to save the battery on my phone. I decided to turn it off an keep myself busy. Sitting on the sofa with a lot of layers on and two dogs and a cat shoved up against me trying to keep warm, I crocheted up a really thick and warm crochet hat pattern I just love.

And because I made it during the storm, I decided to call it the Uri Crochet Beanie.

You know… after the storm Uri. In my head I wanted something I could have a striking and bold pattern. My first go was using gold, black and white yarn and I just loved it once done. As I tested out the pattern and hooked up another hat from it I decided to see how it would look with a more muted color palette. In the end, I truly love BOTH versions of this bold crochet hat.

Since I was freaking cold, I also wanted to make a hat with a THICK crochet fabric that would be nice and warm. You know, to keep all of that heat from escaping out of the top of my head :) What we have is a whole bunch of front post half double crochet stitches that work up on top of one another to make a really nice, thick and WARM crochet beanie. This fabric, however, does crochet up tightly because it is so dense. So feel free to go up a size in hook, or add a few more stitches to the band to make the hat looser.

• In this pattern three colors are used. See above section for supplies needed for the exact yarn colors we used.
• Chains at the beginning of the rounds do NOT count as the first stitch.
• When working this project do not turn your work. Continue to crochet in the same direction for every round.
