This free crochet pattern and video tutorial shows how to crochet the Super Chunky Striped Dylan Claire Beanie, which is an easy double crochet beanie worked in fun stripes and super chunky yarn so it works up quickly. There are 7 sizes included, and a video tutorial.

One thing I really love about working with super chunky yarns is how quickly projects come together. In a quick comparison to Worsted Weight #4 yarn when working a double crochet beanie, the newborn size requires 4 rounds of increases while the super bulky weight only requires 2! In the same comparison, an adult small size requires 7 rounds of increases while the super bulky weight only requires 3! Are you sold yet?

- Dylan Claire Preemie Beanie (3 Sizes)

• Dylan Claire Beanie (Newborn through Adult)

Materials:

• 50 (65, 85, 90, 120, 145, 175) Yards of Super Chunky #6 Weight Yarn - I used Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick & Quick in the Gray Marble and Barley colorways
• M13/9mm Crochet Hook
• Tapestry Needle
• Soft Tape Measure, Gauge is Essential
• Optional, Jewelry Pliers

Material Notes:
Respectively, the yardage is about 25 each 35 & 30, 35 each, 45 each, 65 & 55, 75 & 70, 90 & 85.

Yarn Alternatives: Mill House Super Bulky from WeCrochet, Lion Brand’s Hometown, or 2-3 Strands of a Worsted Weight #4 Yarn, like Red Heart Super Saver, Lion Brand Color Theory, or WeCrochet Swish.

Jewelry pliers are an excellent tool to use to help weave in ends as chunky yarn can be quite tough on the fingers when weaving in with just fingers and a tapestry needle. I also recommend using a Bent Tip Tapestry Needle.

Sizes:
Newborn, 3 - 6 Months, 6 - 12 Months, Toddler, Child, Adult Small & Adult Large

Gauge - Essential:
Measured in pattern after Round 2:

• 16 DC = 3 5/8”
• 18 DC = 4”
• 20 DC = 4 3/8”
• 22 DC = 4 1/2”
• 24 DC = 4 3/4”

Abbreviations (US Terms):
