Uri Beanie Free Crochet Hat Pattern ⋆ Dream a Little Bigger

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.

Supplies Needed to Hook Love Hearts Crochet Beanies:

Worsted Weight Yarn (size 4 or medium)
Crochet Hook, Size H
Yarn Needle <— these are the JAM!
Custom Leather Garment Tags
Faux Fur Pompom

The Yarn

I made these beanies in 3 different colors, all using Loops and Threads Impeccable Yarn at Michael’s Stores.

For the darker beanie I used Impeccable in Gold (Color A), Impeccable in Black (Color B), Impeccable in White (Color C). Fur pompom used on this hat is from this set.

For the lighter beanie I used Impeccable in Soft Taupe (Color A), Impeccable in True Gray (Color B), Impeccable in Aran (Color C). Fur pompom used on this hat is from this set.

The Hook

I’m currently obsessed with Furls Fiber Arts Hooks.

The Leather Garment Tags

For all of my current designs I use the faux leather garment tags on the hats from Birch and Cider. I love this small business. Great quality, prices, and reasonable time between order and receiving the tags. Plus when you chat with her about proofs and whatnot, she’s super sweet!

Pattern Notes

The crochet fabric for the body of this crochet hat pattern is quite tight. If you are a tight hooker, for an adult hat crochet a hat band that has 68-72 stitches around OR work with a larger hook.
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.
