Striped Dylan Claire Beanie – Free Crochet Pattern

October 1, 2021

This is a free crochet pattern for how to crochet the Striped Dylan Claire Beanie, an easy crochet beanie pattern worked in simple double crochet stitches, and available in 7 sizes.

Find the free crochet pattern instructions below, or purchase a printer-friendly, ad-free PDF on Ravelry by clicking here.

This post contains affiliate links for WeCrochet. If you make a purchase by clicking on them, I make a small commission at no extra cost to you. Thanks for your support!

I was so excited when Christine from Sweet Potato 3 reached out to me to be a part of this year’s Crochet Cancer Challenge. You may or may not know that EyeLoveKnots was named in honor of my family members that have been affected by Retinoblastoma, and as children, so I wanted to combine both of those into one design. Find out more about “EyeLoveKnots” and Retinoblastoma on my About Me page.

This Striped Dylan Claire Beanie features stripes of white to represent Retinoblastoma Awareness, and gold to represent Childhood Cancer Awareness.

I need to give a big shout out to WeCrochet for supplying me with the two skeins to complete this project. I picked WeCrochet Swish Yarn. It’s 100% superwash merino wool, but it’s so soft and not itchy, and it’s so cozy, it feels like it’s giving you a big hug. It’s also machine washable, which adds piece of mind. If you can’t do wool, WeCrochet Brava is a good alternative.

Please visit with Christine at Sweet Potato 3 to get all the details for this Crochet Cancer Challenge, download free printable tags for your beanies, and get the schedule for each free pattern including her beautiful Colors of Courage Beanie.

Materials:

  • 42 (50, 62, 74, 90, 116, 132) Total Yards of Worsted Weight Yarn (split this in half for each color) – For the adult small size, I used WeCrochet Swish in Honey 58 Yards, and White 58 Yards
  • H8/5mm Crochet Hook
  • Tapestry Needle

Material Notes:

Yarn Alternatives: Lion Brand Wool Ease, Berroco Vintage; Non-Wool: WeCrochet Brava, Red Heart Soft, Lion Brand Heartland

Time Spent:

I worked up the adult small beanie size in just over 2.25 hours.

Measurements:

The Newborn Size has a crown of 4″ in diameter, a circumference of 12.56″ to fit a head size of 13″-14″, and is 5″ in length.

The 3-6 Month Size has a crown of 4.69″ (or 4 11/16″) in diameter, a circumference of nearly 14.75″ to fit a head size of 14″-16″, and is 5.25″ in length.

The 6-12 Month Size has a crown of 5.44″ (or 5 7/6″) in diameter, a circumference of nearly 17.08″ to fit a head size of 17″-19″, and is 5.75″ in length.

The Toddler Size has a crown of 5.44″ (or 5 7/6″) in diameter, a circumference of 17.08″ to fit a head size of 18″ – 20″, and is 6.5″ in length.

The Child Size Size has a crown of 6.31″ (or 6 5/16″) in diameter, a circumference of nearly 19.75″ to fit a head size of 20″ – 22″, and is 7″ in length.

The Teen/Adult Small Size has a crown of 6.31″ (or 6 5/16″) in diameter, a circumference of nearly 19.75″ to fit a head size of 20″ – 22″, and is 8.5″ in length.

The Adult Large Size has a crown of 6.56″ (or 6 9/16″) in diameter, a circumference of nearly 20.6″ to fit a head size of 22″ – 23″, and is about 8.5″ – 9.5″ in length.

*If you are concerned with the size (or want to make a different size), take your tape measure out and measure around your head just above your eyebrows. The distance around is the circumference. You will need to use this equation to figure out what size diameter you will need: Your Circumference – 2” / 3.14 (pi) = crown diameter. 2” is the amount of stretch for acrylic, wool, and similar

Gauge:

In the round starting with 10 DC, after Round 3 = 3″

Abbreviations (US Terms):

  • DC – Double Crochet (Photo Tutorial)
  • SC – Single Crochet (Photo Tutorial)

Pattern Notes:

I work my crown and body differently than most to help keep my seam straight, and that is that the first stitch from the first set of increases is done in the first stitch of the round, which will appear just to left of the beginning chain, then the round will be worked as normal, and the final stitch of the round will be the second stitch of the first set of increases, and it will be worked into the same stitch as the first, and appear just to the right of the beginning chain. The photo above shows where the first and last stitch are worked, and I have a photo tutorial of this technique in my How to Keep a Straight Seam post. You can work in your preferred increase method as long as we end up with the same stitches at the end of the round.

In the crown, the beginning chain 2 does not count as a stitch, but in the body, the chain 2 does count.

Join to the first stitch, not the beginning chain 2.

To make my color changes more seamless, I like to complete the previous row with slip stitch, then pull the new color through the loop on my hook, and pull that initial loop tail end to tighten down. The previous color will disappear, and it becomes a clean, seamless color change.

For Stripes, start with your first color (in my case, it was yellow), and alternate with a second color (in my case, it was white). I worked my final single crochet round in the same color as my last double crochet round.

For my beanie, I carried the yarn up the inside of the beanie, so there are floats along the inside of the seam, which is only visible from the inside of the beanie. If you do not want to have visible floats, check out my How to Carry Yarn in the Round photo tutorial, or you can finish each row off with an invisible join, and reattach the new color for each row.

If you need some help working one of these beanies, I have a video just below, and also a step by step photo tutorial in my Women’s Basic Beanie post, and I even explain how to make a fun pom pom to embellish the top of the beanie with!

Welcome!

Hey! I'm Alexandra, the blogger and creator behind EyeLoveKnots and On Rockwood Lane! My passion is being creative. My favorite thing to do is crochet, and you will almost always find me having a cup of coffee and working on a new crochet project, but when I'm not doing that, you might find me out at a local park rollerblading, baking some fresh cookies, picking veggies in the garden or re-decorating for a new season or holiday. My two cats are great supervisors for all my adventures (minus the being outside because they think it's too hot in Florida to be anywhere but inside), and make sure I take plenty of breaks.
