Here is the clustered v-stitch crochet hat 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.
How It’s Made
This crochet hat pattern is started at the brim, which is worked in 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 details around the brim.
The body is worked with the clustered v-stitch. Each cluster is basically a double crochet 2 together. The v-stitch is a cluster, chain 2, and another cluster in the same stitch or space.
The top is decreased over two rounds and then sewn shut.
Make a pom pom with your leftover yarn and attach it to the top if you like. How To Make a Pom Pom
The Finished Size
The finished size is 18″ circumference by 10″ tall, but it can be adjusted as needed in a multiple of four. Use this Crochet Hat Size Chart by Age as a reference.
The Yarn Used
I used Bernat Premium yarn, which is a soft, worsted weight yarn. The yarn works well with a 5 mm crochet hook. And you only need one skein of yarn to complete this hat.
Any other similar yarns can be substituted if you like.

Love this pattern. Easy to follow and it can be adjusted to fit. I added 4 more rows on brim to have a looser fit. Thanks for posting pattern.
At the end of rounds 3-13, do I slip stitch to the chain 2 of the beginning cluster or the next stitch? I’m a little confused. Thanks so much.
Hi Rebecca, I always join to the ch-2 of the beginning cluster.
