#1 Linen Stitch Beanie
This one is such a basic beanie pattern, but one that is always seen around and never hidden away because it’s not ‘in’ trend. You can’t go wrong with the linen stitch beanie pattern, there isn’t any doubt about that. This pattern is best for an everyday wear beanie in the winters. Patterns from Love Crafts
#2 Basic Knit Ribbed Family Beanie by BERNAT
The classic knitted beanie that we all want or have. I personally love ribbed knitted beanies, and I would say they look great on people of all ages. Therefore, if you’re planning on gifting a knitted beanie to someone, a basic ribbed beanie is a safe choice to go with. Add a cute little pom on top and make it playful and fun.

#3 Eagle Bay Beanie (Lion Brand)
If you’re planning on a trip up north, you need this beanie! It’s really cozy and warm, and just perfect for protecting you against the cold. You know how cruel cold can get, and although it’s not easy to accept the possibility in the summers, when winters are there you will take just anything that keeps your teeth from chattering. Patterns from Love Crafts
#4 Turban Twist Knit Beanie
If you have been following my blog for some time, you would know how much we enjoy patterns with a twist in our creative space. This gorgeous pattern is featuring a turban-style beanie that is so festive and lively. You can pair this with a flirtatious dress and look really chic. You can also wear it while on holiday, as it has that exotic vibe. Patterns from Yarnspirations
#5 True Colours Knit Beanie by Patons
This lovely pattern is offered in just one size, but it should fit most women, otherwise, you can always resize by adding more rows to the whole count if you are comfortable with resizing. It is a cool pattern though, that you can try in your favorite colors and wear on a daily basis. Patterns from Yarnspirations
#6 Basic Beginner Knit Beanies for the Family
Treat your whole family to knitted beanies and become their favorite. If you’re new to knitting, chances are you want to practice your skills all the time, and making gifts is the biggest prospect on your mind. Well, make gifts for your family and for your friends’ squad. Maybe even add their initials to them and personalize the beanies further by using their favorite colors. Patterns from Love Crafts
#7 “Hat in Bloom”
Make this gorgeous, floral beanie to enjoy nature while you go for a run in the morning. This beanie is such a ‘wear me to the park’ sort of accessory, that you might want to go even if you normally don’t. You can make the flower in a contrasting tone too, but it is totally optional. Follow the link for complete instructions. Patterns from Yarnspirations
#8 Tomato Baby Beanie
This one is such a quirky and cute pattern, and perfect for costume parties and carnivals. Although, you can always make it for a friend who loves or (even better) hates tomatoes (just to tease them). You can also make this for someone who blushes really deep and always reminds you of tomatoes. Receiving this beanie will make them do exactly that, yet another time. Patterns from Knitchicks
#9 Red Heart Create Some Charm Beanie
A lovely textured beanie with a pom-pom is pretty much everybody’s favorite, because why not. You can make this for younger ones as a back-to-school present as well. Make sure to knit it in everybody’s favorite colors and whatever you do, do not forget to add that playful little pom-pom on top. Patterns from Yarnspirations
#10 Bubble Beanie Hat
Oh wow! My eyes could feast on this pattern for a few good moments. What a beautiful design! I’m sure a lot of you would agree. The texture is so on fleek, and you know you want it because it’s such a unique and cheerful pattern. The ombre yarn is incorporated so well, I’m in love. Although, I’m certain this pattern would look great in neutrals and solids too. Patterns from Studio Knit
#11 Enea Hat/Beanie
Chunky and cozy, and oh so pretty! If you are really picky when it comes to beanies, I feel you will agree with this pattern. It has just the right amount of texture, the design adds a yummy dimension to it, and it is really cool. I just love the grey and blue combo so much, I wouldn’t switch to a different combination, or maybe olive green and grey.. oh well, the pattern is gorgeous, let’s just make all the combinations we love. After all, who’s counting? Patterns from Love Crafts
#12 Soft Pastel Knit Hat
A yum-looking beanie to satisfy all your marshmallow and cotton candy cravings. I would say this is the sort of beanie that you can wear almost anywhere, especially if you make it in similar yarn as the one used in this pattern. It’s a lovely beanie and it will go well with a lot of outfits. You can wear this for grocery sprees, outdoor picnics, running errands, or just chilling on a couch by the window. This will vibe with you if you are a generally cheerful person. Patterns from Yarnspirations
#13 Acorn Hat/Beanie by BERNAT
This pattern is a good choice for a beanie to keep you warm and cozy. I can’t recall just how many winters I’ve spent being down with the flu just because I refuse to wear beanies and scarves. I wouldn’t blame my younger self, though. It had less to do with my teen tantrums and more to do with there being no good options. With patterns like these, you can cater to similar situations, so now it’s a proper goodbye to flu and fevers. Patterns from Yarnspirations
#14 Cole Hat/Beanie
If you are looking for the perfect beanie for Christmas, I would vote for this pattern. And I would vote for it in the very same color. I know a lot of us think red just HAS to be included in every Christmas wearable, but I feel textured wearables in bottle green, and dark green stand out so well against the masses of red. Well, thank me later. Patterns from Noowul
#15 Fluffy Brioche Hat/Beanie
You can’t knit this beauty right here, even if you have bookmarked enough patterns already. This is so gorgeous and modern that your outfits are screaming ‘WANT’ for it. This minimal pattern will guide you in making the chicest beanie that will be admired by everybody, and heads will turn as you walk into a room. Just be prepared for a lot of requests on this one. Patterns from Purl Soho
