Men’s Beanie Crochet Pattern
For my first blog post, I thought it made sense to publish the first crochet pattern I ever designed. The inspiration for this beanie was my husband, Jonathan. I am a fan of bulky toques, Jonathan however, prefers a fitted beanie. So I not only made him one, I designed one specifically for him!
I wanted a pattern that was easy to follow, easy to make and a simple, manly design. Since I have two boys, I couldn’t just make a hat for daddy, I had to make a child’s size as well! This men’s beanie is made in a continuous round worked in half double crochet stitches with single crochet stitch stripes at the bottom. It’s a quick, easy, perfect crochet pattern for the man in your life! (Need another pattern for that hard to shop for man in your life? Check out this Striped Necktie or Men’s Golf Cap or my newest winter hat the Cabled Beanie!)

When I started selling my hats earlier this year, I had planned on focusing mainly on women’s designs, like the Jasmin Messy Bun Beanie, The Spring Beret, or the Karen Headband however I kept getting requests for the Jonathan Beanie. It has continued to be my most popular hat to date! Now it’s time for me to share this free crochet pattern with you. I hope you love it as much as we do!
*Edit March 30th, 2019* Since publishing this pattern, it has held up its popularity and is still my most popular pattern on my blog!

More Time To Do What You Love!
I am a stay at home mom and Jonathan works in new home construction. We always had enough to get by, but it was tight. We never had enough for any extras, like yarn!…And Jonathan was always exhausted when he got home after working long, hard hours.
Then I became an digital business owner and I am SO grateful for it that I want to share it with anyone wanting to start their own successful digital business!
It has been such a blessing to me because:
-I can run my business using only my cellphone/laptop and a wifi connection.
-It runs 24/7 even while I’m sleeping or outside playing with my kids!
-It is 100% legitimate with registered offices in 23 countries around the world.
-I don’t do any selling, the system does it for me. (No bugging my friends and family!)
So how did I find this amazing business?
I had been trying to find a way to work online and all the other businesses I had tried have only taken time away from my family, not added any income! So my mother-in-law told me about a nurse she works with who has been running her own successful digital business since early 2019. (And by successful I mean she now makes more than her full time nursing career!). She told me it was possible for me too and sent me the link to a complimentary workshop where I was shown the basics of running a digital business and how to use social media to leverage the internet!
I asked a lot of questions and did some research, but I knew that this was the best business model that I’ve seen or tried. So I signed up that week and in less than a month I was up and running my own digital business.
Because of this business;
– I don’t have to worry about finding a job outside the home,
– Our dreams of growing our homestead are becoming a reality,
– And I can enjoy each and every moment with my family, guilt-free!
If you are ready to start doing more of what you LOVE, then please visit my website
And sign up to watch the same complimentary workshop I watched, to see if this business could be for you!
I look forward to hearing from you soon!
God bless,
