Easy Crochet Hat Pattern

November 9, 2016 By Lucy

easy crochet hat

In this article I am going to share my very easy crochet hat pattern.

Helping you to make your own warm and snuggly crochet hat.

Nothing beats a good hat when the weather is chilly.

I must admit I am very pleased with this one.

I hope that you enjoy making and wearing it as much as I have!

Easy Crochet Hat Equipment

To follow this easy crochet hat pattern you will need the following crochet equipment:

  • 220 yards / 150g of Lion Brand Landscapes Charcoal Yarn
  • Size I / 5.5mm Crochet Hook
  • Yarn Needle
  • Stitch Markers

I am a real fan of this Lion Brand yarn. You have lots of colors to choose from, so you can pick the one which suits you best.

It works up very nicely, and has a lovely soft finish. It is also quite tough for such a gentle yarn.

Easy Crochet Hat Stitches & Pattern Instructions

To make this easy crochet hat you will need to use a few different crochet techniques including:

  • Magic Circle
  • Single Crochet (US terms)
  • Double Crochet (US terms)
  • Puff Stitch

You can find a quick magic circle video tutorial here if you are unfamiliar with the technique.

Learn how to make single and double crochets in this step by step tutorial.

Watch my video showing how to make a puff stitch here:

This video teaches you how to make a puff flower, you only need to follow the first section showing how to make individual puff stitches.

The easy crochet pattern will be given using abbreviations, but with full instructions in italics underneath for those newer to reading crochet patterns.

Easy Crochet Hat Pattern

Your easy crochet hat is worked in a continuous circular pattern.

Round 9 – 19

(1ps, 1dc) x 8. (56)

To work the body of the hat, alternate a puff stitch into one stitch, then a double crochet into the next. Follow this repetitive pattern of alternating stitches from round 9 to round 19. 

Round 20

Put 1 single crochet into each stitch.

At the end of the round, slip stitch into the next stitch, cut off the yarn and tie off.

Then sew the loose end back into the body of the hat using your yarn needle.

Making Your Own Easy Crochet Hat

I hope you enjoy making your own easy crochet hat.

I highly recommend the Lion Brand Landscape yarns, and they come in lots of colors.

So you can pick the one that suits you the best.

Happy Crocheting! Lucy Kate, x

      Hi Ellen, I am pleased to hear that you like my crochet pattern. I would love to hear how you get along when you make it 🙂

    Do you close the puff stitch up?

    I’m working on this now for my mother in law.

      Hi Teresa, The puff stitches are individually closed, yes. So after you have pulled the yarn through three times, you take the yarn through the all together to complete the stitch. I hope this is what you were asking, do let me know if I have misunderstood! Best wishes, Lucy.

        I think she’s asking, do you do the chain 1 to close after you have pulled through all the loops?

    I don’t understand what a puff stitch is. Could you please explain this? I watched the video. Do I need to pull up the stitch like in the puff flower? Sorry for my ignorance. I like the hat pattern. Although I’m not that new to crocheting, the technique is new! I bwant to try out some of the new techniques!
    Thanks.

      Hi Jolan, Sorry to hear that you have found the instructions unclear. I will record a new video giving an exact demonstration of how I stitched this up asap 🙂 Lucy x

    I would also love to have a demo of how you make this hat. I am very new to crochet, and am not sure about the puff stitch. In the flower video, is each petal made of 2 puff stitches or just 1? If the petals are made of 2 puff stitches, how do you secure a single puff stitch when making the hat before going on to a double crochet? Thank you! I do love the look of this hat, and am excited to make one.

    I love the look of this – I’m thinking a hat & cowl combo? Thank you for sharing this lovely pattern!
