Yesterday I shared my new striped beanie pattern in 7 sizes from newborn to extra large adult, and today I’m sharing 4 sizes of bobble beards, mix and match to create the fit your looking for.
I love the thinner yarn for more details, but if you’d rather use a thicker yarn try it out first, if it makes the beard too large try either going down a hook size or down a beard size.
Here is an example of all 4 beards, Large, Medium, Small and Extra Small (on an Adult, adult, toddler and baby beanies). You can see the difference in length as well as width (or is that height?) Which is why I’d suggest a hook change over beard size change if trying a different yarn.
And Baby Boy looked so cute I decided I had to add an even smaller version, here is Miss K showing off the Extra small!!! Seriously, could this BE any cuter?
Material:
vanna glamour (you can use any yarn of similar size, if you go up a yarn weight you might want to go up a beard size or down a hook size)
Hook I- 5.50mm
Stripped beanie
Stitches used:
chain (ch)
single crochet (sc)
half double crochet (hdc)
half double crochet decrease (hdc2tog)
bobble- Yarn over, insert your hook in the stitch, yarn over and draw up a loop, yarn over once more and draw it through the first 2 loops on your hook.Repeat that process (yarn over, insert your hook in the stitch, yarn over and draw up a loop, yarn over once more and draw it through the first 2 loops on your hook) 3 more times in the same stitch. There are now 5 loops on your hook. Yarn over and draw the loop through all 5 stitches. You’ve made one bobble stitch. Notice that the bobble puffs to the back side of the swatch you’re working, which will be the right side of the work.

My mom is modeling the Large beard with Miss K… Love the zoolander look (seriously though, it’s a bit creepy on adult women without some fun face of some kind)
(Here you can see the difference between a large beard and medium beard, both on adult beanies)
Another example of the beard size changes, (these pictures were taken before I decided to create the extra small as well). notice it’s a little lopsided or tilted. that’s okay, it’s the the tilt from bobble, sew it onto the beanie, and it will be just fine.
Sew row ends of beard to the inside edge of your favorite beanie, or my striped beanie, making sure it is spaced evenly between the two sides. I sewed mine about 1/2 inch up inside. I like the way it pulls and looks better than attaching RIGHT to the edge, gives you a bit of a lip. You can place the beards as far front or back as you want.

This is brilliant! I know you put a lot of hard work into figuring this out for all sizes. Good job and thanks for sharing! They look amazing
I did, thank you, I’ve been trying to get it JUST right for 6 months now.
Thank you for the pattern! These are TOO cute. I’m telling ya, I’m ready to frame a photo of that baby with the big eyes.
isn’t she beautiful, my sweet niece!
Nice work and nice blog! I’m a fellow hooker, pattern writer and blogger, found your pattern on pinterest. There’s a group on facebook for blogging hookers, I just liked your fan page if you’re interested add me as a friend and I can add you to the group.
Hope to see you around. ~Debi
thanks, done!
Oh my goodness….just the cutest!! That is one of the best pictures I’ve seen!! Just love the look on Miss K’s face!! Priceless!! Thank you so much for sharing!!
so fun, huh, I’m so glad I added the extra small sizes!
I made one and I love it!!thanks soooo much!!
I’m so glad! I love hearing success stories!
Thanks so much for this pattern! I’ve been trying to find one that had a beard like this, the bobbles are perfect! Thanks so much for posting!
your so welcome! Last year plain beard was fun, but I love love LOVE the bobble beard!
Are you kidding me? These are the cutest things ever!
the smaller they are the cuter, huh!
I have been looking for patterns for beards in all sizes. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I actually like the look of the bobbles better than others I’ve seen. I’m so excited, I am going to make one for my nephew for Christmas!!! Love the striped beanie too!
I agree, I like the bobble too! Let me know how it goes!
SUPER!! Love the pattern. Just finished one for my one year old. Almost want to wake him up from his nap to try it on (I said almost ha ha). Love the photo with your mom, that expression is priceless. Thanks so much for sharing
did you love it once he woke up?
These are so super cute! I REALLY need to learn how to crochet!
thanks! It’s really pretty easy, just takes a bit of time to play around and figure it out!
Both the beards and the baby models looks so cute and adorable…Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. May the coming year bless you and your family with everything that your hearts desire.

Thank you so much!
OMG thank you so much, I have been patiently awaiting your beard for kids pattern so I could make a child size one…. it’s perfect!!!
HA! Sorry it took so long, but I wanted to test every size before releasing it!
These are just too cute. Just a quick question, though–about how big around are each of the sizes? I’d like to make this for a baby with an abnormally large head, so I’m not sure about measurements. Thanks!
it completely depends on the yarn you end up using and how tight or loose you crochet. that’s why I give general sizes and also at the bottom of each picture share what size I made for each person wearing one. how old?
I have been asked to make a beard that it much longer and wilder than yours. I think the bobble beard will be a great base, but could you give me an idea for how to make it longer? Think mountain man without a shower for weeks! Thanks.
I’d do more like my double loop santa hat, but pull the loops much longer rather than the bobbles
Thanks for replying! He’s four months old, but I just measured his head at nearly 19 inches. The kid looks like a bobble head, it’s crazy. The yarn I’ve got is the Lion Brand Pound of Love baby yarn, I think it’s sport weight. I already tried doing the toddler size with that yarn and a size G hook, but it was still way too small for him. I crochet kinda tight, so that’s probably a factor.
the G is two sizes down in hook size, that’s going to be WAY tiny always start with the hook size a pattern calls for and if it’s too small go up a hook size or up a pattern size! my niece, in the white hat, if also 4 months old and wearing the baby size, (which is a standard 6-12 months- but if I put sizes on a pattern people get upset when they perfectly fit that size. like my 4 month old niece not fitting the 3-6 month size cause her head is so big! so I named it baby, infant and newborn instead).
Hi Chelsea,
I’am doing the large beard .Could you tell me how many bobbles are in each row? Ikeep on coming out wrong.Thanks for sharing your pattern and your time.
I’m actually Ashlee, chelsea is my sister and photographer
.
row 2- 18 bobbles,
row 4- 19 bobbles,
row 6- 18 bobbles,
row 8- 19 bobbles,
row 10- 16 bobbles
row 12- 6 and 6 bobbles
row 13- 8 bobbles
I love these patterns! I made some of the beanies and beards for my boys. Other people are asking me to make them too. Can these be made for sale? I am new to this and don’t want to do anything wrong
yes you can, just please give me credit if you sell online and link to my pattern so that those who do want to make their own can. you’ll still get business for those that don’t want to make their own.
Thanks for the tip. I will let you know how it turns out!
your so welcome! If there is enough interest in an adult size I’ll make a pattern for a double loop adult beard.
Hi Ashlee ,
sorry for the mix up thank you for your reply
no big deal, my own mother calls me chelsea sometimes
let me know how the beard goes!
Well, I’m doing something wrong. No matter what I do, on row 10, I end up with 3 empty stitches. I’ve torn out the row plenty of times & I still end up with 3 empty stitches @ the end. It’s getting rather frustrating.
I’m assuming the large size, since you didn’t specify? and that’s the decrease row. Do you have the correct number before? 39? with the 4 decreases you should be at 35. In row 8 there should be 19 bobbles across, and in row 10 you’ll go down to 16 bobbles. Does that help?
Yes, sorry. I’m trying the large beard. All my bobble numbers are correct for the other rows. I’ve got 39 in row 9. Ugh, Thx for the help, I’ll try again tomorrow!
Here are where each stitch should be (let me know if this helps):
Row 10- ch2, turn, hdc, (stitch 1)
*hdc, bobble stitch* 6 times, (stitches 2-13)
*hdc2tog, bobble* two times, (decrease in stitches 14/15, bobble in 16, decrease in stitches 17/18, bobble in 19)
hdc, (stitch 20)
*bobble, hdc2tog* two times, (decrease in stitches 21/22, bobble in 23, decrease in stitches 24/25, bobble in 26)
*bobble, hdc* 6 times, (stitches 27-38)
hdc 35 (stitch 39)
Thanks SO much for sharing! I can’t wait to see this on my grandson.
your so welcome I hope he likes it okay!
First off I just wanna say what an incredible pattern! To the T on everything! Thank you thank you thAnk you for sharing!
My only question is how many fpc are between the beard placement, like between the eyes! Every time I place mine I can’t get the hat on once I sew it on grrrrr! Any tips on that?
Again thank you for your time!
it’s different for every hat size and every face. That’s why I didn’t leave anything on the pattern. I just hold the beard up near the front brim put on the hat, then pull the hat on (a bit tight) then pull the beard down. Try moving the sides up to the front more if it’s too tight.
Thank you SO SO SO much for this!! I have been looking for a pattern to make one of these for my little brother and the only free ones have been for adults… I am so happy to have finally found one and can’t wait to make it tonight! Thanks again!
your so welcome! i hope he likes it!
thank you so much for sharing the bobble beard pattern and the striped beanie patterns. The different sizes are fantastic. I have ahd many requests to make these for family and friends. This is by far the best, easiest and most liked pattern I have found. Easy-to-follow directions and they are a hit every time. thanks again.
thank you so much, I’m glad you liked the pattern
Just to say thankyou for such a brilliant pattern…It’s been very easy to follow….I have now made two beards and I am extremely pleased with the finished projects. Thanks again.
your welcome! I’m so glad you liked it, I’m so happy with how it turned out myself.
Thanks so much for the pattern I have a friend that I made some for. She had seen them and ask if I could find a pattern and make them for her. I have them made but have a time try to figure out where and how to attaché the beards! Can you please give me some tips on how to attaché them and where?
Thanks so much for any help!
I just stitched them into the hat with thread that matches the beanie, about half and inch up inside
You did an amazing job with this pattern – I didn’t even have to pull any of it out! Thank you very much!
I love hearing that, thank you so much!
I have a question regarding the mustache pattern Sz=Small Row 9 it says:
working in the ch space- *bobble, sc*, 3 times, bobble, (now work in the stitches)
6+1=7stiches
but there is only 5 spaces in the chain
I’m not sure I understand.
not work in the CH’s, work in the space. I don’t work in the ch’s, I’m trying to fill in the whole space. does that make sense?
Thank you so much for posting this!!! My brother-in-law asked me for one of these, and now my sister wants one for my nephew, too. I have been trying for a while now to find a good pattern. I love the bobbles! Can’t wait to try it.
I love the way the bobble looks too, Can’t even make my older pattern anymore! I’m glad you like it!
This is an awesome pattern! Thank you so much for all the work you put into it and for sharing it!
you are so welcome! I worked on this one off and on for a year, It’s nice to be done with it!
Just came across your website and LOVE it. You are very talented and very generous in sharing your patterns. I look forward to trying some of them!
thank you so much! I really enjoy sharing (although not so much the negative comments) thank you for taking the time to leave such a sweet note for me. I really REALLY appreciate it!
Ashlee,
I searched the internet for a beanie/beard and yours is the best around! Now all his friends want one, too. I’m asking them to supply the yarn. I usually end up with the cheap red heart yarn from walmart so I have to alter the pattern a little to get the right size.
Anway, Kudos on the great pattern.
Thanks
you have to work with what you get sometime! I started out with cheap yarn, but it’s hard to go back… I’m so glad you like my pattern, I love the bobbles, but did you see my double loop santa version? I think I need to make that in ever size next…
WOW. These are hilarious! What a crack-up! I love these patterns. Thank you!
right??? not practical on the little ones, but HILARIOUS!
I made one for my nephew, my boyfriend & my cousin’s fiancé. Thank you so much for sharing. I tried using your instructions for the large & medium one to make an extra large one. I don’t know if the number count for the stitches is correct, but it work out (how? I have no idea haha [=) but thank you so so much for sharing. And the picture of the baby is so too cute! It made me laugh! The baby is adorable!
Wow! the large wasn’t big enough? crazy! Glad it worked out for you.
What are the finished measurements for each size (or suggested age range)? I’m trying to determine which size to make for my son. Thanks for all the work you put in to sharing this pattern with us!
ummmm I’m not sure. I made them and gave them away and I’m terrible at remembering to check measurements and gauge. The ones I did with the vanna were smaller than the ones I made with medium weight yarn. I’d do row one and see if it reaches both sides of the beanie easily??? sorry to be such a lame-o
Your pattern is so cute my grandson asked me to make one for him. I’m having a problem doing row 8 in the medium beard. I have 35 bobbles in row 7 but I don’t know how to get down to 31 bobbles with the instructions for row 8. I feel like I’m missing something in the instructions as I’m only getting half the bobbles needed. I hope you can help me. Thanks
Row 8 is a decrease row, hdc2tog is a decrease stitch there are 4 of them so you’ll go down 4 stitches
Love this! My son has crazy hat day at school next week and I thought this would be cute. Been knitting for a few years but this is my first crochet project completed. Just finished the beard and I LOVE it. Going to work on a hat now. Pattern was. Very easy to follow. Thanks!
I love to knit, love the wya it looks, but crochet is so so SO fast I tend to work in crochet. but I’m so glad you liekd the hat! Did you son enjoy it?
Thank you so much for the pattern. I’m anxious to start. Do you have patterns for men and women? What a great idea.
it’s unisex, the same pattern for men and women. Just pick the sizes to personalize it.
Love this pattern! It works up so quickly and easily. I’ve made several for my grown sons who really like them for when they’re working outside when it’s cold; keeps the cheeks, chin, and upper neck warm. I used a different beanie pattern that has fpdc in the lower half of it, sewed 2 buttons on each end of the beard, and they can just button the beard to the inside of the beanie when they need it! Going to try your beanie pattern next:) Keep up the good work-
awesome! very very fun, I’m so gald you boys like them. glad the button thing worked for you! I didn’t want my kids to be able to take it off
Super fun! Love the beard and love the beanie. Linking up at Tangled Happy tomorrow. Thanks for sharing this fun design!
thank you so much! not only for this feature, but for the others as well! you were my #8 blogger referrer last year! http://www.imtopsyturvy.com/top-10-2012/
Wow!!! That is super cool.
Thanks so much! I love how they turned out!
Wow, this is a great pattern. Super cute! Thanks for sharing the pattern.
Thank you so much! I am more in love with it than the kid’s, but they all seem to like it too!
OMG these pics are too cute! I have made some of these in the past but not with such an awesome beard! I love it! Again, the pics are priceless!
Gabli
thanks so much! The bobble is SO much fun for these beards! I love the loops I did with the santa hat too
I can’t thank you enough for the patterns! A friend of mine asked me yesterday if I could find one of these to make for her niece’s newborn, and when I found the “other pattern” online, I couldn’t believe how much they were asking for it–and then you couldn’t ever sell any of them (not that I especially want to, but I would prefer not be restricted by that). I’ve been knitting and crocheting for many years, so I thought I could figure it out eventually, but thanks to you, I don’t have to! My friend will be thrilled with it!
you are so welcome! sometimes I think, I could be making money by selling these, but then GAH, such a hassle and not as much fun! I’m so glad you like them!
Ashlee, you COULD make money selling your patterns–and you should after all the hard work you put into them. Honestly, I don’t think anyone minds paying a reasonable price for a pattern, at least I don’t. But I don’t feel $9.99 is reasonable for a baby hat! I would have probably just bought the other pattern if it had been even $4.99, but at nearly $10, I felt I would look around online or figure it out myself. Thank you again. I have completed the newborn one, and my friend loved it so much, she asked me to make a toddler-sized one too.
HA! I’ve considered it, but I just love sharing and blogging, the business side simply isn’t as fun!
Did you use yarn or thread to sew on the beard? I just made this for my brother and he is so excited. Now my teenage son wants one too. Thanks for the great pattern.
I used the same thread as the beanie to attach the beard so it doesn’t show through!
so cute… thanks

Thank you for sharing and for this big opportunity for letting us create this with our own hands! it’s so exciting…
I love this pattern, it will make smile to many people!
I’m so glad you like it. I seriously worked on this pattern off and on for a year trying to get it right, I love how it turned out!
Hi! First off I think this is adorable! Im very new to crocheting and just taught myself the bobble stitch today via youtube so I could make this. My question is on row 6 it says “hdc2tog” Im just not really sure what that means? Any help?
in the stitch guide is explains each stitch. It’s a half double crochet 2 together decrease.
Yes I didn’t know what decrease meant but I asked around and figured it out. Thank you!
