Crochet Beard Pattern

10 Hand Crafted Ornament Tutorials If you have been following me on Instagram then you know that I have been on a bit of a crochet beard making kick.  With Movember {and November} came this fun fascination with facial hair I guess.  Darcy asked me if I could make him a bearded hat and so the bearded hat making began.  Today I am sharing the winning crochet beard pattern that I cam up with.

Materials

K Hook {6.5 mm}
Worsted Yarn
Yarn needle
 
Abrevieations
ch ~ chain
ss ~ slip stitch
sc ~ single crochet
dc ~ double crochet
st ~ stitch
 
Here are the instructions to create a child sized beard {for a 5-10 year old}.  For adult sizes just start with a longer chain and add a few more dc to the center of each round.  I used VERY thick brown yarn to give my beard a thick, puffy look.

Crochet Beard Pattern:

 
10 Hand Crafted Ornament Tutorials Round 1 ~ ch 32, turn {32}
Round 2 ~ ss 5, sc 22, ss 5, turn {32}
 
10 Hand Crafted Ornament Tutorials Round 3 ~ ss 5, sc 2, dc 6, ch6, dc 6, sc 2, ss5, turn {32}
 
10 Hand Crafted Ornament Tutorials Round 4 ~ ss 5, sc 4, dc 14, sc 4, ss 5, turn {32}
 
10 Hand Crafted Ornament Tutorials Round 5 ~ ss 5, sc 6, dc 10, sc 6, ss5 {32}
Tie off your yarn.
 
You can continue after round five, adding more sc and fewer dc to make a longer beard if you want.

Here is an adult version.

For the adult beards I attached a button to each end so that the beard could be attached and removed from the beanie at any time. 

Some crafting essentials for crochet projects:

  • I love using this Vannas Choice yarn (aff link) for soft silky projects every time.
  • These crochet hooks (aff link) are ideal for using with all sizes of yarn.
  • This crochet kit (aff link) is perfect for the beginner because everything you need to start is included.
  • This lovely yarn tote (aff link) makes traveling with your crochet project both stylish and easy.
These bearded hats are perfect for cold winter weather and winter sports because they keep the whole face warm while outside.
 
Please let me know if you have any questions!
 
Enjoy!

    Can you please be more specific about the adult size hat? How many should I chain?
    Thanks, Jan

      Hi Jan! Try chaining 37 for the adult size, so you would add 5 stitches to the child size pattern. I hope that makes sense and happy crocheting!!

    I love this pattern! Would you happen to know how I can alter it to fit a one year old? I am making it for someone so I don’t actually have a baby to measure myself. Thanks so much!

    I noticed the foundation chain needed 33 stitches for the pattern to come out correctly. Also a chain 1 after each turn at the end of each row. Anyone else ?

      Yes. Also on row 3 doesn’t say to skip 6 after you chain. Even after you chain the 32 it says turn. I think that’s an error too. Pattern is cute but needs some tweaking
