How to Crochet a Spider-Man Beanie (Venom Colors Work Too!)
Hey there! We’re excited to share this fun and simple tutorial on how to crochet a Spider-Man beanie.
The pattern was created by Cherilyn Q, and it’s perfect for any superhero fan! Initially, we thought about making a Venom version, but the black yarn seemed a bit too dark to capture clearly on camera.
However, once we tried red yarn for the Spider-Man look, the result was amazing! The color is vibrant and stands out. If you're interested in making a Venom-inspired beanie, just swap the colors—it works just as well!

Getting Started with the Basics
Before we dive into the pattern, let’s make sure we have everything we need to start smoothly. For this project, you’ll need red and black yarn if you’re making the classic Spider-Man version.
If you prefer a darker, Venom-inspired look, grab black and white yarn instead. Depending on the effect you want, you can also experiment with different shades—after all, creativity is part of the fun!
Next, you’ll need a crochet hook. The size of the hook will depend on the yarn you’re using, but for this beanie, a medium-sized hook (like 5mm or 5.5mm) usually works best.
If you're not sure which size to pick, check the label on your yarn for recommendations, or try a couple of hooks until you find the right tension for your stitches.
Don't forget some stitch markers! These little tools will help keep track of where you are in the pattern, especially if you’re new to crocheting in the round. It’s easy to lose track of rounds when you’re making a beanie, so having markers will save you from extra guesswork.
This pattern is designed to fit an adult-sized head, but don’t worry if you're making it for someone smaller. Adjusting the size is super easy—just reduce the row count or switch to a smaller hook to create a snug fit for a child. You can also measure as you go along to make sure it fits just right.
The flexibility of crochet allows you to easily customize the size based on who the beanie is for, so feel free to play around with it!
Adjusting the Beanie Size
When it comes to adjusting the size, the key is to make small changes to ensure a comfortable fit. The most common way to modify the size is by adjusting the number of rounds you crochet.
For an adult-sized beanie, the pattern calls for a certain number of rounds to create the right height and shape. If you’re making the beanie for a child, you can simply reduce the number of rounds to shorten the height.
This way, the beanie won't be too long or loose.
Choosing the Right Yarn Colors
Choosing the right colors is where the fun begins. For the classic Spider-Man look, we recommend using red and black yarn.
If you’re going for a Venom vibe, black and white will give you that sleek, dark appearance. If you want to experiment with other superhero color schemes, feel free!
Just keep in mind that darker yarns like black can be harder to work with, especially when it comes to seeing your stitches. But don’t worry—the result will always be worth the effort.
Tips for Beginners
If you're new to crochet, no need to worry! This pattern from Cherilyn Q is very beginner-friendly. Once you get comfortable with the basic stitches, you’ll breeze through the rest.
We recommend watching the video tutorial a few times before starting, just to familiarize yourself with the steps. And if you're feeling a little nervous, practicing on a swatch beforehand can help build your confidence.
Crocheting a Spider-Man beanie (or Venom, depending on your choice) is such a fun way to create something special for yourself or a superhero fan in your life.
Whether you stick with the iconic red and black or venture into Venom’s black and white, your beanie is sure to turn heads and be a unique piece of wearable art.
