Crochet beanie “Boel”
Crochet the beautiful and trendy “Boel” hat using the soft wool yarn Soft Wool.
This yarn is made from 100% wool, so the hat will keep you warm all winter. It is also a very easy project, perfect for beginners who want to learn how to crochet. You can adjust the size of the hat to suit your personal preference. In addition to the wool yarn, you will need a 6–7 mm crochet hook (6 mm for a denser and warmer hat). We have used the color “Dark Green.” To help you along, there is a full-length instructional video to watch.
Yarn Consumption: approximately 100–200 g. The green hat shown in the picture, crocheted with a 7 mm hook, weighs about 100 g. For a hat made with a 6 mm hook that is slightly taller, you will need two skeins.

Here's how to do it
This beanie is easy to adjust in size, making the pattern suitable for all ages! If you like a more dense beanie then use crochet hook 6 mm /Rebecca
If you use a 7 mm crochet hook, the hat will be looser and not as dense. If you want a tighter hat, we recommend using a 6 mm crochet hook instead, but then you will need to increase the number of chain stitches on row 1.
If you use a 6 mm crochet hook and want a taller, more pointed hat, we have crocheted approximately 43 chain stitches.
If you are crocheting a hat for a child aged about 10–18 months, we have crocheted approximately 31 chain stitches using a 6 mm crochet hook. This resulted in a hat that fit well, meaning it was not too tall or pointy. Add more stitches if you want a taller hat.
All children’s heads are different, so measure as you go.
Start: Begin by making a slip knot/loop: take the end of the yarn and wrap it around your fingers twice. Use your crochet hook to pull the inner yarn under the outer yarn to create a loop. Tighten the knot and insert your hook into the loop.
Row 1: Chain as long as you want your beanie to be.
Tip: If you plan to fold up the bottom edge, make sure to include that in your length.
Row 2: Once you’ve made your foundation chain, chain one extra and turn your work. Start in the second chain from the hook.
- Work 3 slip stitches. To make a slip stitch, insert your hook into the stitch, yarn over and pull up a loop (you now have two loops on the hook), then pull the back loop through the front loop.
- After the slip stitches, work 3 single crochets. To make a single crochet, insert your hook into the next stitch, yarn over and pull up a loop (two loops on hook), then yarn over again and pull through both loops.
- Continue down the row with half double crochets until the row is complete. The total number of stitches should be one less than the number of chains in Row 1. Chain 1 and turn.
Half Double Crochet Explained: Yarn over, insert your hook into the stitch and pull up a loop (three loops on hook), yarn over again and pull through all three loops. A half double crochet is similar to a single crochet, but you yarn over once before inserting your hook.
Row 3: Skip the turning chain and begin in the second stitch. Work single crochets only in the back loop of each stitch across the row.
- Tip: When you look at your stitches, you’ll see two “bars” on top of each stitch. The one closest to you is the front loop, and the one farthest away is the back loop—this is the loop you’ll work into on Row 3.
Repeat Rows 2–3 until your piece reaches the desired width for your beanie.
Sew the sides of the beanie together using a large tapestry needle. Check the video for tips on creating an almost invisible seam.
For the top of the beanie, sew through the turning chains (the chains at the end of each row that allowed you to turn your work). Pull the yarn tight so that the hole at the top is as small as possible.
Fold up the brim of the beanie. Your beanie is now finished—great job!
Crochet Pattern Terms
This part of the pattern uses crochet terms. If you need extra help along the way, check out our basic version of this pattern. In this case, there are no images, so we refer to the full-length video in the pattern.
- ch = chain
- sl st = slip stitch
- sc = single crochet
- hdc = half double crochet
- blo = back loop only
- (…) = number of stitches on the current row
- … = repeat everything inside the … the indicated number of times
Row 1: Chain the number of stitches needed to get the desired size of your beanie. Tip: If you want to fold up the brim, include that in your chain count. From row 2 onward, finish each row with a chain and then turn your work. Start each new row in the 2nd chain from the hook.
Row 2: 3 sl st, 3 sc, then work hdc all the way down the row.
Row 3: Work sc in blo.
Repeat rows 2–3 until the width of your beanie matches the size you want.
