When Taylor Swift wore that crocheted beanie to watch her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, play football with the Kansas City Chiefs, all of the online yarnie groups went BA-NA-NAS with people wanting to know how to make the same hat. It’s the Taylor Effect, y’all.

Anyway, if you love a Swiftie, like I do, then you simply MUST make them one of these beanies. It works up quickly with simple stitches, so it’s an easy project that will bring a huge thrill to your Swiftie’s heart, because in no time at all they will be able to rock this hat just like Taylor did.

To replicate Taylor’s look, it’s important to use a bright white yarn for the main color; a rich, vibrant red yarn with blue undertones for the stripe; and a bit of black yarn to add Kelce’s jersey number.

You will notice that I have the jersey number “wrong” on the sample beanie I made. That’s because my Swiftie also loves a football player, and he happens to wear jersey number 84 (whereas Travis Kelce wears number 87).
