Tapestry Crochet Hat Pattern: Triangles Beanie

Hats are some of my favorite things to crochet (and knit). They’re functional, quick to make, and great stash busters!

I knew I wanted to make a hat as part of my exploration of tapestry crochet this month, and I had just the right amount of leftover yarn!

I used some of Carol Ventura‘s tapestry crochet graph paper (available here), though, to be fair, this pattern is so simple I could have used regular graph paper.

This simple, tapestry crochet hat pattern is perfect for your first explorations of tapestry crochet. I’ve even included both a chart and written instructions for the triangles stitch combination.

I’ve also included 8 sizes, from newborn through adult large, so I’m sure you’ll be able to find the right size for your next hat project!
