Clustered V-Stitch Crochet Hat – Worsted Weight

Here is the clustered v-stitch crochet hat pattern in worsted weight yarn. It’s an open stitch pattern, which makes it ideal for cooler weather. However, if you’re in extreme temperatures you can wear it underneath a hood or line it to make it warmer.

The beanie hat pattern works up quick and easy for intermediate crocheters. It’s a pretty stitch pattern, which makes it a great gift idea for just about anyone on your list. Best of all, you can adjust the size as needed.

The Finished Size

The finished size is 18″ circumference by 10″ tall, perfect for small adults. But it can be adjusted as needed in a multiple of four. Use this Crochet Hat Size Chart by Age as a reference to make crochet beanies for your entire circle of family and friends.

The Yarn Used

I used Bernat Premium yarn, which is a soft, #4 worsted weight yarn. The yarn works well with a 5 mm crochet hook. And you only need one skein of yarn to complete this slightly slouchy hat.

Any other similar yarns can be substituted if you like.

How It’s Made

This clustered v-stitch hat is started at the brim, which is worked in ribbing rows until you get to the circumference that you need. You can adjust the brim for the width by starting off with more or less chains.

Join the brim and begin working in the round for the body. I worked one round of single crochet stitches followed by another round of back post single crochets to give you a bit of detail around the brim.

The body is worked with the clustered v-stitch. Each cluster is basically a double crochet 2 together. To make the v-stitch, work a cluster, chain 2, and another cluster in the same stitch or space.

The top is decreased over two rounds and then sewn shut.
