How to Make a Crochet Hat with Honeycomb Stitch Pattern (EASY!)

 Sure! Here’s a detailed, easy-to-follow guide on how to make a crochet hat using the honeycomb stitch pattern. This project is suitable for advanced beginners to intermediate crocheters, especially if you’re comfortable working in the round and using post stitches.

🧶 How to Make a Crochet Hat with Honeycomb Stitch Pattern (EASY!)

🐝 What is the Honeycomb Stitch?

The honeycomb stitch in crochet typically uses front and back post double crochet (FPdc & BPdc) to create a textured, raised hexagonal or diamond pattern that resembles a beehive. It’s beautiful, warm, and stretchy—perfect for hats!

🧵 Materials You’ll Need:

  • Yarn: Worsted weight yarn (Category 4), about 150–200 yards
  • Hook: 5.0 mm (H/8) crochet hook
  • Tapestry needle (for weaving in ends)
  • Scissors
  • Stitch marker (optional but helpful)

📏 Sizing Info:

This pattern makes an adult-sized beanie (21–23″ head circumference), but you can adjust by changing the initial stitch count (must be a multiple of 6 for the honeycomb pattern to work).

🔁 Abbreviations (US Terms):

  • ch – chain
  • sl st – slip stitch
  • sc – single crochet
  • dc – double crochet
  • FPdc – front post double crochet
  • BPdc – back post double crochet
  • st – stitch
  • rep – repeat

👒 Part 1: Make the Hat Brim (Optional Ribbed Band)

This is a simple sc ribbing that makes the hat fit snugly.

Ribbed Brim:

  1. Ch 10
  2. Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and each ch across. (9 sc)
  3. Row 2–70 (or to desired circumference):
    Ch 1, turn, sc in back loops only across. (9 sc) Tip: Adjust rows to fit head snugly.
  4. Join ends with sl st to form a band.

🍯 Part 2: Set Up for Honeycomb Stitch Pattern

  1. Round 1 (Setup):
    Ch 1, sc evenly around the edge of the band to make a base for your stitch pattern. Make sure the total number of sc is a multiple of 6. Sl st to join.
  2. Round 2:
    Ch 2 (does not count as st), FPdc in next 3 sts, BPdc in next 3 sts, rep * around. Sl st to join.

🍯 Part 3: Work the Honeycomb Stitch Pattern

The basic honeycomb pattern alternates 3 FPdc and 3 BPdc stitches, but you shift them every 2 rounds to create the “honeycomb” effect.

Repeat the following:

  • Round A: 3 FPdc, 3 BPdc around. Sl st to join.
  • Round B: Repeat Round A.
  • Round C: 3 BPdc, 3 FPdc around (this shifts the pattern). Sl st to join.
  • Round D: Repeat Round C.

⏳ Continue repeating Rounds A–D until the hat is about 7–8 inches tall from the brim.

🧵 Part 4: Shaping the Crown (Top of the Hat)

As you reach the desired height, start decreasing to close the top of the hat.

Begin Decreases (Keep FPdc/BPdc pattern where possible):

  • Round 1: [FPdc2tog over next 2 FPdc], FPdc, [BPdc2tog over next 2 BPdc], BPdc, repeat around.
  • Round 2: Continue decreasing: FPdc2tog, BPdc2tog around.

Continue decreasing (switch to dc2tog if easier) until about 6–8 stitches remain.

🧵 Part 5: Finishing

  1. Cut yarn, leaving a long tail.
  2. Thread the tail through the remaining stitches and pull tight to close.
  3. Weave in ends.
  4. Add a pom-pom if desired!

🎉 You’re Done!

You’ve just made a cozy, textured honeycomb stitch crochet hat!

✅ Tips for Success:

  • Use a stitch marker to keep track of the beginning of each round.
  • Practice FPdc and BPdc before starting if you’re new to post stitches.
  • Block the finished hat lightly with steam to open up the stitch texture.
