Sample was made using Lion Brand Heartland yarn in the colors “badlands” and “lassen volcanic”. Heartland is a 100% acrylic, worsted weight (4) yarn that contains 230 meters (251 yards) per 142 grams (5 ounces).

If you're wondering what yarn to use for your Granny Pop Beanie, I absolutely recommend Lion Brand Heartland Yarn! It's my favorite yarn to work with because it’s so soft and smooth, and it gives your crochet projects such a cozy, polished look. Plus, it comes in a gorgeous range of colors that really make your work pop.

If you’re looking for something else, no worries! Here are a few other great options:

Red Heart Soft Yarn – This one’s super affordable and soft, making it another fantastic choice for beanies and hats.
Caron Simply Soft – Silky smooth with rich, vibrant colors, it’s perfect for those who like a bit of shine in their projects.
Bernat Premium – If you prefer something thicker, Bernat Premium gives that extra warmth and softness, great for colder months.

Notes

The beanie is worked from the bottom up. Crochet ribbing is worked first in rows to form the hat band, then the beanie portion is worked in joined rounds on top of the ribbing.
A chain 3 at the beginning of a round counts as a double crochet stitch.
Stitch counts are given at the end of each row as follows: {baby, toddler, child, adult, adult large}
