A double loop crochet beanie pattern. Perfect for a Santa or elf hat and a great base for my double loop crochet beard pattern!

a free crochet pattern for this double loop edged santa beanie

Two years ago I made a child sized crochet bearded Santa hat. It was adorable AND it's been a HUGE hit!

Anyway I've been getting a lot of requests for larger sizes, SO this year I sat down and wrote a bunch more sizes, BUT because it would have made the original post GINORMOUS I separated the hats to this new posts and left all the double loop beard patterns in the old post.

I hope you all love this pattern as much as my family has loved them! Seriously Princess hasn't taken her's off in days!

And even Baby Boy (who didn't really love it the first time around) had enjoyed it this year and requested to wear his! Who will you be making this one for in your life?

Double Loop Crochet Santa Bearded hat pattern
Materials:
red weight yarn (I used cotton ease in cherry)
White bulky yarn (I used Baby's first in "cotton ball")
Hook I- 5.50mm
Hook N- 9.00mm
double loop BEARD if your making the bearded santa hat

Stitch abbreviation:
slip stitch (sl st)
single crochet (sc)
half double crochet (hdc)
double loop stitch (insert your hook into the stitch. take yarn and wrap it clockwise around your left index finger twice (opposite of the way you'd normally hold it over your finger.). stick the hook under the loops on your finger catching all three strands with the hook. pull all three strands through the stitch, YO and pull through all 4 loops on hook.)

The loops shows up on the opposite side of what your working on, so working in the round you need to make sure your working from the INSIDE of the hat so that the loops show up on the OUTSIDE.
