Buffi Crochet Beanie

November 21, 2014 By: Tamara Kelly55 Comments

Bulky yarns are so fun to crochet with – and super bulky is super fun! Gotta love a crochet pattern that whips up in a flash and looks this good! The Buffi Crochet Beanie uses puff stitches and post stitches for a ton of fun and texture – and it’s a free crochet pattern right here on Moogly!

I made the Buffi Crochet Beanies with two different super bulky yarns – Adriafil Asso and Lion Brand Heartland Thick & Quick. Both look and feel amazing, and I love the different looks they give the same pattern! The Asso has some great fun color changes, with twisted plies that look like two yarns held together. And the Heartland Thick & Quick features a more subtle tweedy look – I love them both!

    It certainly does look comfy! I love crochet but one issue I have with it are the holes and gaps that are often present. Seems to defy the goal of warmth. But this pattern looks like it maximizes warmth while minimizing gaps and draftiness. I look forward to trying it out! Thanks!

    Question on gauge….3.5″ after round 2. Is that from center to outside? I’ve never made a hat before. I’ve got 2.5″ after round 3. But….I’m using different yarn. I’ll likely need to adjust. But….just wondering if this is measured from center to outside, or totally across? Thank you, and for the pattern!

    Love this hat and how fast it works up. I am confused with the stitch count after Rnd one of the brim. It says 24 for the medium. I keep getting the 28 as was the count for the last Rnd of the medium size hat. Am I missing decreases somewhere? Thanks so much.

      Thank you Kelly! It’s the same as the others except now that you’re working even and so only working the puff stitches into the spaces between the puff stitches of the previous rows. So you slip stitch into that next chain space to get you in position for the first puff of that round. Does that help?

    Love this hat and I’ve been waiting to use my super bulky yrarn for something fun!
    Quick question, I’m on the medium hat, row 4 and I’m getting confused with the round brackets within the square ones. I keep coming out to 50 stitches and not 56. Can you explain how I would do the 3 times/4 times repeat please?

      Tamara Kelly says

      January 14, 2015 at 8:10 am

      Hi Melanie! You start at the beginning of the bracket, then do the part within the parentheses 3 times, then go back to the beginning of the bracket and start again from there, doing the part within the parentheses 3 times again. All together you will follow the bracketed instructions (including the part in parentheses) 4 times total. So the part before the parenthesis will be done 4 times, and the part within the parentheses will be done 12 times. Does that help?

      Hi Emily!
      Rnd 4 reads: [puff st in st, ch 1, skip ch sp, (puff st in st, ch 1, puff st in ch sp, ch 1) 3 times] 4 times
      This means you repeat the entire part in the brackets 4 times. Within each of those repeats, you repeat the part in parenthesis 3 times.

    Round 4: Ch 2, [puff st in st, ch 1, skip ch sp, (puff st in st, ch 1, puff st in ch sp, ch 1) 3 times] 4 times; join with a sl st in the first puff st. (56 sts – 28 puffs/28 chs)
    For some reason I only have 24 puff stitches, not 28….

    How is it that on the small you repeat the brackets 8 times, on the medium only 4 times and the large is
    16? I am so confused on this round 4 of medium. If you only repeat the brackets 4 times and within that the parenthesis 3 times then shouldn’t that only give you 10 puff stitches?! I am really confused by this 🙁

      To make a super bulky you would add 2-3 strands of worsted. This one might be a bit big, but if you used the same hook size it could work – you’ll want to measure the brim. With the hat laid flat, it should be about 10-12 inches wide, with some stretch.
