I’ve been wanting to make a faux-hawk beanie for Baby Boy since last year. He would have looked pretty cute as a baby wearing one, BUT I got a little sidetracked with all the other hats I made him. It’s Fall now and starting to cool off so it’s perfect timing!
He’s not the biggest fan of hats, sadly… He keeps pulling it off, but I’m hoping when it gets colder he’ll leave it on (yeah right). But that’s okay, cause I’ve written a few other sizes for you, baby, child and adult (teen’s too).
I used two different yarns for this one, The Jiffy is great and has lots of texture/color variation and I used it for the beanie, the wool-ease in orange was a great contrast to the blue! I made my mohawk a bit differnt from others I’ve seen, mine is SUPER full, and FLUFFY… I adore it!

Faux-Hawk Strip
Small (Medium, Large)
materials:
Hook: I/5.50mm
Yarn: Lion Brand wool ease
abbreviation:
ch (chain)
sc (single crochet)
Strip
ch 41 (47, 51).
Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each remaining ch across, turn—40 (46, 50) sc.
Rows 2 and 3: Ch 1, sc in each sc across, turn.
Fasten off.
Honestly you could easily make this any length, just chain until your happy with the length front to back of the beanie.
Fringe
Cut approximately 600 (690, 750) 6-7 inches long. Holding 5 pieces together, fold the strands in half. Insert crochet hook, from RS to WS to RS again, around a stitch of the center row of Mohawk strip and into the folded strands. Draw the fold back around the stitch to the RS, forming a loop on the RS. Insert ends of strands into the loop and pull to tighten. Repeat this process to attach fringe to all of the sc in each row of Faux-hawk strip. Trim fringe to about 2-2 1/2 inches long.
Once you’ve tied all the fringe on take a long piece of yarn and a needle and sew your faux-hawk strip onto the beanie!! I sewed down the center first then down each side to get it nice and snug!

Oh my goodness Ashlee! This is awesome! And it looks so darling on baby boy. I understand the frustration of them not keeping things on, especially something as cute as this hat!
xoxo
Isn’t that always the issue with babies and the adorable things we create for them? At least once they learn how to use their arms!
Oh that is so cute but the little model is cuter. It really turned out adorable. You are so talented.
Thanks! I keep putting it on him hoping he get’s used to it!
This is so you, Ashlee… I love it! Baby Boy looks so flipping cute. Great job!
HA! Thanks! The DA wants a PINK Mohawk hat now!
This is awesome. I love everything you crochet! I’m jealous of your talent! I am featuring this at somedaycrafts.blogspot.com.
you are to cute! Thank you so much for the feature! One of these day’s Ill start linking up again! I’m so happy that business is going so well for you! I hope to see you soon!
Seriously. He is A-DOR-ABLE! This is the perfect hat for him, and it turned out so so cute. Also, I think a pink mohawk would be awesome. Just sayin. I think DA has a great idea going with that one. Just make sure you post a photo of her wearing it once it’s done.
agreed, adorableness in all forms! love love LOVE this little man, I think the DA will look awesome in the pink… when I get around to it!
Adorable! Every little guy needs one of these. Hope you won’t mind me linking up tomorrow at Tangled Happy. Thanks for sharing this fun Pattern!
I have no problem with you linking back to my pattern, thank you so much! I’m glad you liked it.
Do you have any idea what the length of the hats are when you finish with the main color?
My gauge always seems different than everybody else and I just want to make sure I’ve got ti right. I’m working on the child’s hat.
length? like the sides? just keep repeating row 9 until your happy with the length.
Can this pattern work using double crochet as well? I’m going to try to make it for a toddler if that makes a difference.
double crochet is a longer/narrower stitch, so while it tends to crochet faster, it won’t be as dense. also you’ll stop your increases a row or two sooner, and won’t do as many rows! but totally doable! Have fun!
Hi,
I was wondering how you like the lion brand jiffy yarn? its kind of like mohair right? I was thinking about making a hat for my newborn daughter in this but wondered if its soft enough and not itchy for newborn everyday wear?
I love lion brand yarn, the jiffy worked GREAT for this, cause i wanted something really warm for Baby Boy for the winter, but for a newborn version I’d use one of the soft baby yarns to make a smaller, softer version.
Super cute! I linked to it on my blog this morning!
Thanks for sharing your patterns!
http://www.mooglyblog.com/fun-crochet-hats-for-men/
thanks so much! such a fun group of hat’s! I love the Jayne, I’ve been meaning to knit myself one of those!
I love this hat! I have a new grandbaby and have been looking for a pattern for the faux-hawk. I think I might make one for my 17 years old too. Awesom instructions and the pictures helped also!
your so welcome! Let me know how it goes!
Im new to crochet and with stitching in the strands of yarn, what does HS and WS stand for? TIA
I’m unclear what your asking? There isn’t an HS anywhere in the pattern. There is a WS and a RS? is that what you meant? right side and wrong side.
I love your hat. I make hats for my family and also sometimes to sell. If I credit you for the pattern, may I sell some? I won’t sell if you say don’t. I always ask first.
Thanks
yes you can, thank you for asking. As long as you give credit and you link to the pattern so people who want to make their own can.
I have a couple of babies I “do” for, but this hat is so cute I want to wear it myself! think it would be as cute on an over-60 old woman? LOL!!!
why not! I have purple hair in a mohawk on a daily basis! why can’t a 60yo wear a faux mohawk hat? i love it!
Hello, I am wanting to make one of these for my nephews upcoming birthday! Can you please let me know how many balls of yarn of each color I will need to make a child’s size?
I didn’t even use a full skein in either, but I used almost all the gold!
Thank you for the pattern. I have made two of them now for baby gifts. I cut the Mohawk strips at four inches and like using four strands in each hole rather than five. A latch hook makes the Mohawk go much smoother too.
very fun! I’m so glad you like them. I seriously still love it, but wish the baby would have worn it he hated it) going to make larger ones for the other kids this next winter
