While beanies have become more popular than ever, they have also become more varied. No longer are beanies just made out of the same basic knit material and topped with a pom-pom. Modern beanies use different materials, textures, and embellishments to create unique designs that are truly all their own.

One of the most common ways to customize a beanie is through embroidery. Embroidery adds texture and style while introducing color and patterns that you couldn't achieve with just fabric alone. But if you're looking for embroidery ideas for beanies, it can be difficult to figure out where to even start.

As such, we've put together some of our favorite embroidery ideas for beanies below so you can get started on your next project.

1. Your Favorite Phrase

Embroidery can be used to add a message to a beanie. If you have a favorite quote, saying, or phrase that you love, why not turn it into a piece of art? Embroidery can capture the message perfectly.

Get creative with your embroidery message and fonts. One way to make sure your message stands out is to use a contrasting thread color on the beanie. For example, if your beanie is black and you want to embroider white text onto it, you will have no problem seeing the text.

By choosing an embroidery thread color that matches your beanie color, you create a subtle but appealing look. The same goes for choosing a thread color that contrasts against the beanie's color.

Another tip for sewing in your message is to keep the text small and centered on the front of the brim.

2. Favorite Team Logo

This is one of the most popular choices for embroidery on a beanie. If you're looking to show off your fandom and stay warm, this is an excellent option. Whether it's Major League Baseball, college sports teams or even local high school teams, people love showing off their support with custom hats.

If you're a big fan of your local team, then why not get their logo embroidered on the front of your beanie? You can choose from a variety of different colors and designs to really make it stand out and show off your support for your favorite team. This is a great way to show off your team spirit at any event or function, or even if you're just watching the game at home with friends.

3. Your Name

You don't have to be a celebrity or a sports star to have people recognize your face (or head). Add your name or initials to your beanie so that everyone knows who they're dealing with. It's also a great way to personalize this casual winter accessory and make it yours.

A lot of people are eager to have their name on their beanies. This makes your beanie truly yours as it is customized just for you. It also makes it very easy to identify your own cap in a sea of caps in the office or at school.

4. Your Logo

This one may seem obvious, but it’s always worth mentioning. Your company logo is a great way to get your name out there, especially if you work in a field where your employees wear uniforms with their logo on them (like landscaping or delivery services). 

Not only will customers notice you with your logo on display, it can also help keep your employees from losing their hats.

5. Cartoon Character

Using a cartoon character is a really easy way to make an embroidered beanie look good. The cartoon character could be from a TV show or film, or it could just be a mascot for your business. Using a cartoon character is a great ice breaker and can get people talking about your product straight away. Plus, it can give off an air of nostalgia.

6. Embroidered Patches

Patches can give a pop of color to your otherwise plain beanies. You can place them on the front and back center, just above the edge. Make sure the patch size corresponds to the overall design and size of the beanie so that it doesn't look overcrowded or out of place. To make them look more integrated with the hat, you can create them in a contrasting color.

7. Emojis

Most people know emojis as the funny little yellow faces used in text messages. They're a fun way to make your hat look awesome and they're also really easy to make. From the tears of joy emoji to the sunglasses emoji, there are hundreds of symbols that can be added to a beanie to show off your brand’s unique personality. 

If you want to use the same emoji, just copy and paste it from the Internet. You can find a nice selection of emojis on Pinterest.

Beanie hats are one of the most popular types of headwear, and they make a great gift for the winter holidays. They're very versatile and can be worn in many different ways — around the house, on your head, as a scarf, or even over your face while sleeping.

In addition to being a stylish way to stay warm, beanies also have practical uses. Since they're made of wool or other materials that retain body heat, they can be used as pillows at night. They're also great for covering up when you go to bed or nap during the day. And when you don't want to wear your hat because it may interfere with your activity (such as playing sports), you can just leave it off.

The best part about doing it yourself? You can customize them any way you want. Just find a favorite logo, slogan, pattern, or graphic and use it as inspiration for an embroidered design.
