Best Crochet Hat Patterns

Three things that I dislike shopping for.

1. Jeans: The dreaded nightmare of dressing rooms. Stitch Fix is here to help.
2. Swimsuits: Nobody can fix this.
3. Crochet Hat Patterns: Too many options. When I click on 50+ text links stating “cutest hat of all time”, only to discover that it is not my style, I get overwhelmed.

You’ll find crochet patterns that feature neutrals, cozy textures, and modern crochet. You’ll find a list at the end of this page that allows you to filter your search and add pictures.

We’ll talk about how to narrow down your search for a pattern that you like.

Chunky Monkey Or Skinny Minnie

Most crocheters have their favorite yarns. It’s important that you know your preferred yarn when looking for patterns. It’s happened too many times that I chose a pattern but didn’t care for the yarn recommended. I changed it, and the hat turned out badly.

You can start your search for patterns by choosing the yarn weight you want to use.

It’s no secret that I love super bulky yarn. You can make a hat within an hour and stay warm. I live in the Midwest where it is cold for 9 months of the year. It is important to wear a warm hat.

I’ll make an exception, and choose a worsted-weight yarn for baby hats. A chunky hat won’t be as warm or stretchy for your little bundle of joy. If you’re crocheting for a newborn, use a washable yarn unless it is a photo prop. You’ll be able to thank your mom.

What is the best fiber to choose?

The most economical choice is acrylic yarn, which can be washed in the machine. Some acrylics can become fuzzy. I chose a blended yarn to make my children’s hats. The Wool-Ease Quick Thick is durable enough to withstand multiple washings, and even being thrown in the backpacks of children every day. Ruby Webbs Crochet offers beautiful patterns for crocheted hats that use cotton yarn. It is soft and durable. Below is a pattern for her baby girl cotton hat.

Other Yarns Favorites for Hats

• Just Soft
• Red Heart Soft
• Bernat Maker Yarn

You’ll need to consider your desired style and fit of the hat after you have chosen the yarn. A slouchy hat is a great twist on the traditional hat. By making the body of any hat longer, you can make it slouchy. These examples will inspire your creativity.

Textures and Stitches

You know that I love texture. There are many different types of stitches that can be used to create textures. The majority of them are based on basic stitches, but with a twist. After you have mastered basic crochet stitches, you can start working on more complex designs. I love the “knit-look stitches” They have the classic appearance of knitting but the simplicity of crochet.

Sweet and Girly Stitches

Hats for little girls are made with delicate stitches. Hats can be made with textured cables, , the puff stitch and shell stitch. When working with a stitch that has a lot of texture, it is a good idea to use light-colored yarn. This will make the stitch design stand out.

Crochet Hat Patterns For Boys

I did not forget about the handsome boys. My little boy was the reason I learned how to crochet. The Aviator Hat is my absolute favorite pattern for boy hats. The basic stitches work best when choosing a boy’s crochet hat pattern.
