Pebbled Heart Beanie a Free Crochet Hat Pattern
If you’re looking for the perfect beanie for Valentine’s Day then you’ll love the Pebbled Heart Beanie.
This crochet hat pattern features a little heart design front and center. Show your love by crocheting a heart hat for your friends, family and neighbors.
The texture of this stitch really creates a pebble like surface. Since I chose grey, the color also resembles pebbles. But you can choose a different color if you prefer.

Yarn
In this crochet heart hat pattern I use Caron Simply Soft. I love how soft and shiny this yarn is in my finished patterns.
You can definitely use a different #4 medium worsted weight yarn. In the original Pebbled Beanie pattern I use Lion Brand Heartland yarn.*
Stitch
If you remember the Pebbled Beanie, then you’ll recognize this special stitch. It’s a mini bean stitch with a modification, plus it’s worked in the round.
I love the texture this stitch creates with just one repeat row. When the mini bean is worked flat, there’s a chain 1 after each puff like stitch.
But for this hat I’ve left that chain 1 off. This creates a more dense fabric that is perfect for crochet beanies.
I first used this stitch in my crochet bowtie pattern. I called it the mini puff stitch and there’s a tutorial for it too.
I really like this Snowball Stitch from Rachel at DesertBlossomCrafts. It features a bobble and I do love that texture!
The Heart Pattern
The heart design is made with simple color changes. Under notes I have a few great tips and tutorials linked to help you change colors.
Really make it next level with a faux fur pom-pom on the top of your hat!
