Men's Crochet Fold Over Beanie Hat

 Free Crochet Pattern

This is an easily adjustable beanie hat for an adult male with a 23" crown circumference (medium). *Note - hats should be smaller than the actual head size due to stretching.

It's 9 1/2" long, so that it can be folded over to make a brim. Most beanie style or skull-hugging hats stop mid ear. This one can be positioned to cover the whole ear.



Flattened out the finished measurements are: 10 1/2" wide, approx 21" around.


    

Yarn: Lion Brand - Heartland Tweed - Black Canyon. This 100% acrylic yarn is very soft and slightly thicker than the average worsted weight yarn. The black color due to the heathered nature, actually looks more charcoal gray than true black. The accent color slubs woven into the yarn are very subtle.
