How to Crochet a Spider-Man Beanie (Venom Colors Work Too!)

If you’ve been wanting to make a fun character beanie, this Spider-Man beanie crochet tutorial is a great place to start. The design can also work as a Venom-inspired beanie, depending on the colors you choose.
In the video, you’ll see the process from start to finish so you can follow along at your own pace—even if you’re newer to hats.
Crochet Spider-Man (or Venom) Beanie: What to Expect as You Follow Along

This project is all about building a classic crochet beanie shape and then adding the bold character look through smart color placement. In the tutorial, you’ll see how the beanie comes together step-by-step, so you’re not guessing where you are in the round.
A few things to pay attention to as you crochet:
- Keeping your stitches consistent so the hat looks smooth and even
- Watching for where color transitions happen so the design looks clean
- Making the brim/edge sit comfortably so the beanie feels wearable (not stiff or floppy)
If you’re customizing it as a Venom beanie crochet style, the same method applies—just swap colors and follow the same construction shown in the video.

When you’re making a character hat, the small details really matter. As you follow the tutorial, try these quick checks:
- Tighten color changes gently so you don’t get gaps between sections
- Count rounds frequently (especially after switching colors) to stay aligned
- Try it on as you go if possible, so you can catch fit issues early
Even if your first attempt isn’t “perfect,” you’ll learn a ton—and the next beanie will look even better.
Happy crocheting, and don’t forget to save this tutorial so you can make more color variations later!
