How to Crochet a Fast and Easy 3D Hat Beanie

This beanie gets its 3D texture from alternating front and back post stitches, or by using a puff or cluster stitch for added depth. Below is a simple post-stitch version:

🌀 Pattern Instructions

Step 1: Make the Ribbed Band

• CH 9
• Row 1: SC in 2nd CH from hook and across (8 SC). CH 1, turn.
• Row 2–60: SC in BLO (back loop only) across. CH 1, turn.
• Join the ends with SL ST to form a circle.

Step 2: Create the Body of the Hat

• Round 1: CH 2, work HDC or DC evenly around the top edge of the band. Join with SL ST.
• Round 2: FPDC in one stitch, BPDC in the next — repeat around. Join.
• Repeat Round 2 for about 10–12 more rounds, or until desired height.

Step 3: Shape the Crown

• Begin decreasing: FPDC2tog, BPDC2tog around.
• Repeat for a few more rounds, decreasing each time.
• Once only a few stitches remain, fasten off and weave through top stitches to close.

🎨 Customization Tips
