I remember the first time I ever crocheted a beanie. I had no clue how to read a pattern, so all I knew was this blueprint that I’m going to share with you here. My first beanie wasn’t perfect but I was definitely hooked!

It’s a sad day when you crochet a pom pom beanie and the pom pom falls off!
That’s why I created this video. I’ll show you my method to tie your pom pom on really well so that it stays where you put it.
Even when the hat goes through the washer (not the dryer! lay it flat to dry).
Even when your kid whips it off her head and throws it on the floor.
This is the best way to keep that pom pom secure to the hat and give it a shot at living a long and prosperous life.

Men's Pondera Beanie Crochet Pattern
$5.00
I've been crocheting men's beanies since 2002, and I started to get tired of making the same basic hat over and over. So, I decided it was time to take it up a notch with the Pondera Beanie!
This pattern is not difficult but it’s slightly more challenging than some of my designs. At the top of the hat, you'll use seed stitch which is alternating single crochets and double crochets. This is really fun but I always need to turn off the TV so I can concentrate on counting my stitches at the top of the hat. You'll see what I mean.
Then, on the brim of the hat (navy blue in the photos above), you'll get to practice front post double crochet and back post double crochet to make a really cool ridged look.
And then, you'll top it all off with an adorable pom pom! One of my friends told me that men don't like beanies with pom poms, but I disagree! I watch football every Sunday and I always see those big tough football players wearing pom pom beanies on the sidelines during the games. I say, if it's good enough for an NFL football player, then it's good enough for any guy!
If you’ve mastered the basic beanie and you’re ready to learn or master the variations of double crochet, then you’re going to have a fun time!

I am on a serious blue kick lately so I am really loving the way the colors stripe in this hat.
I used a bulky weight yarn to crochet this beanie, so it really did take me less than an hour to make. I've got these things down so I can crank them out in about 45 minutes at this point. Pretty awesome, right?
FO Friday: Striped Baby Stocking Hat
Finished Object Friday
A few days ago all I had was this scribbled plan in my design binder. After one false start, a bit of frogging and lots of hemming and hawing and staring at the inspiration picture, I finally finished my baby beanie!
Click through the slide show below to see the process of my beanie creation. :)
My pre-crochet plan
I really hope this ends up fitting like it's supposed to! I'm not completely sure it's the right size for a newborn. But, I'm going to give it to my photographer friend and she can let me know if it needs to be bigger or smaller. Sometimes I get it right the first time, but not always!
It's so much fun to create a new design and then crochet it and bring it to life. :) Creative satisfaction!
What about you? What have you finished crocheting lately? Post links to pics so I can see! :)
