Notes

Yarn Choices: I used acrylic yarn for this free crochet checkered hat pattern, but any type of yarn—like cotton or wool—would work well. Just adjust the stitch count and rows as needed.
Sizing Information: By using a 5.5mm hook, my crochet rectangle for the beanie pattern measures roughly 14 inches by 22 inches. I would say my head is about medium-sized, so it should fit an adult medium/large. If you need to adjust the height or length to fit someone’s head, please do so!
Child Size Adjustments: If you’re making this crochet checkered beanie pattern for a child, I recommend chaining 25-37 (you want the chain to be divisible by 4 + 1) and then following the pattern as normal, but only doing 30-35 rows. Adjust as needed, as it all depends on the child's age. I have never made this hat for a child, so please keep size in mind; these suggestions may need to change.
