Looking for Bearded Hats Patterns - Preferably Free (Help needed by Member)

[Barbara G.]

Question from one of our members:

For the last few days I've been trying to find a free pattern to make a crochet bearded hats. The ages are from 8-11. I figure I make 3 of them for kids that don't have much and I know they would like them. All I find is you have to pay for it. I was wondering if you could help me. Ty for your time. Shelleu

Thanks for helping! I will also be looking, but also catching up on the emails and posts for the site.

On this site: Crochet Beard Pattern | JJCrochet's Blog, the blogger has added instructions to crochet child-sized beards. You need to scroll down for the directions. I've copied & pasted them to this post:

Since there have been a lot of requests, I’ve written out a pattern for a children’s beard. Since each child’s face will be different, be sure to test the beard as you make it to ensure it’s the right side. Grab those hooks and make your little man some facial hair!

Instructions for Kid’s Sized Beard:
Fch 19

Row 1: Chain 1 (counts as first sc now an throughout), * dc, sc *, repeat * to * 9 more times (19 stitches).

Row 2: Chain 2 (counts as first dc now and throughout), * sc, dc *, repeat * to * 9 more times (19 stitches).

Rows 3-8: Repeat rows 1 and 2.

Row 9: ch 1 (Counts as first sc), *dc, sc* 2 times, dc. (11 stitches), fch 7, (up to 20 stitches). Skip 7 stitches. Work *sc, dc* 2 times, dc. End with another sc. (19 stitches total)

Row 10: Repeat Row 2 (19 stitches).

Fasten off.
