Crochet Shell Stitch Beanie with Ear Padding (Free Pattern + Video Tutorial)

If you’re looking for a cozy, warm, fall-inspired beanie with extra comfort around the ears, this Crochet Shell Stitch Beanie with Ear Padding is the perfect project. Made using medium-weight ombre yarn, this hat has a beautiful textured shell pattern and a snug ribbed band.

Materials

4-ply medium weight acrylic yarn (Ombre – Loops & Threads)
4.5 mm crochet hook
Stitch markers
Tapestry needle
Scissors

Written Pattern (Based 100% on the video instructions)

🌟 Ribbing (Ear Padding Band)

Make a slip knot. Chain 20 + chain 2 (total 22). This creates the ribbing height for an adult size.

Row 1: Skip 3 chains from hook. Make 1 DC in the 4th chain. Continue making DC stitches across the foundation chain. (This forms Row 1 of the ribbing.)

Row 2: Ch 2, turn. Ignore the chain-2. Work 1 DC in the back loop only of each stitch across. Mark the first DC.

Row 3 onwards: Repeat Row 2 until the ribbing reaches approx. 18–19 inches when stretched (fits head size 22–23 inches).

Slip stitch the first and last rows together to form a loop.

🌟 Single Crochet Base Round

Work 2 SC into each row end around the ribbing — 2 SC in chain-2 space, 2 SC in each DC row end. Join with a slip stitch.

🌟 Shell Stitch Pattern

Row 1 (First Shell Row):

SC in first stitch
Skip 1
Make 5 DC (shell) in next stitch
Skip 1
SC in next stitch
Repeat around

Join with slip stitch.

Row 2 (Alternate Row):

Ch 3 = first DC
On top of the SC → work 5 DC (shell)
Skip 2
SC in middle DC of previous shell
Repeat around

Row 3 and onward:

Slip stitch into the middle DC of the shell. Repeat Row 1 and Row 2 alternately until you complete **10 rows** or reach **7 inches height**.

🌟 Decrease Rows (Shaping the Crown)

Row 11:

Ch 3 (counts as DC)
Invisible DC decrease over next 2 stitches
1 DC in next stitch
Invisible DC decrease
Repeat around

Row 12:

Repeat Row 11.

Row 13 (Optional but recommended):

Repeat same decrease pattern to reduce the crown opening.

Row 14 (Final Crown Row – Half Double Crochet):

Use HDC and HDC invisible decreases all the way around to tighten the opening at the top.

🌟 Closing the Top

Fasten off, leaving a long tail. Thread tapestry needle and weave in/out around last row. Pull tight to close the hole. Secure with knots and weave in tail.

🌟 Pom-Pom

Wrap yarn around fingers 30–40 times. Tie center, cut loops, brush lightly, trim into round shape. Attach to top of beanie and secure the ends.

Materials

4-ply 100% cotton yarn — Orange (main) & Brown (stem)
Crochet hook — 2.5 mm
Tapestry needle for weaving ends
Scissors, stitch marker (optional)

Finished size

Approximately 2–3 inches diameter when worked with 4-ply cotton and a 2.5 mm hook. Adjust hook or yarn size to make larger/smaller appliqués.

Abbreviations

MR = Magic ring · ch = chain · sl st = slip stitch · HDC = half double crochet · DC = double crochet · SC = single crochet

Written Pattern — Pumpkin Appliqué

Round 1 — Magic ring center

Make a magic ring. Ch 1 (does not count).
Work 8 HDC into the center of the MR, include the starting tail when inserting the hook so you can tighten the ring later.
Pull the tail to close the ring tightly. Remove stitch marker if used.
Join with a sl st to the top of the first HDC. (8 HDC total)

Round 2 — Increases

Ch 1 (does not count).
Make 2 HDC in each stitch around — working 2 HDC into every stitch from Round 1. (16 HDC total)
Join with a sl st to the top of the first stitch.

Round 3 — Shape the pumpkin

The shaping creates the recognisable pumpkin lobes. Work the following sequence around and repeat as necessary to create two symmetrical halves (see video timestamps for live pacing):

Ch 1. In first stitch: 1 HDC, then 1 DC (HDC + DC in same stitch).
In the next 5 stitches: work DC increases (2 DC in each stitch) — repeat for 5 stitches.
In the next stitch: 1 DC, 1 HDC in same stitch.
Sl st into the next stitch to finish the section.
Repeat the full sequence across the remaining stitches so the shape is balanced (mirror the first half).
Fasten off leaving a 2–3" tail for weaving. Trim if needed once ends are hidden.

Stem

Join brown yarn at the last sl st or top stitch.
Ch 5 (or desired stem length).
Skip the first chain from hook, SC in each of the next 4 chains (4 SC total).
Sl st into the pumpkin top to secure. Ch 1 and fasten off leaving 2–3" tail.

Finishing

Turn the appliqué to the back side and weave in all tails with a tapestry needle.
Trim excess threads close to the work.
Optional: lightly block or press (low heat, with cloth) to flatten for appliqué use.

How to use your pumpkin appliqué

Sew multiple appliqués on a garland string for a quick Halloween banner.
Stitch onto beanies, baby clothes, tote bags, or pillows for seasonal flair.
Attach to gift tags or use as small craft props in wreaths and centerpieces.

Troubleshooting & Tips

If your ring has a gap — pull the starting tail tighter before weaving ends.
Want a fuller pumpkin? Use a thicker yarn or larger hook.
To make tiny pumpkins, swap to DK or fingering yarn and a 2.0 mm hook.
