Easy Crochet Hat Pattern
You will find that this easy crochet hat pattern is not only easy to whip up, but it’s also super easy to adjust in size from baby to adult. Plus, it features a pretty and textured stitch pattern that you’ll enjoy wearing. As for the pom pom, it’s optional but adds a lovely touch.
The colors are also easy to customize to match your favorite outfits or your favorite season. I love the green, but I can see this just as pretty in fall colors, or maybe even Christmas colors.
The Stitches
It’s an easy pattern for those who have mastered the basics of crocheting. The pattern uses all basic crochet stitches including the single crochet, double crochet and triple crochet to help you take things to the next level.
If you are new to crochet, this pattern will help you gain new skills by working into the back loops to create a ribbing, and also to work two stitches of different heights into one stitch to give you a nice bobble on top of the fabric.
Recommended Yarn
I used Patons Canadiana for this pattern. It is a medium weight #4 acrylic yarn. It is a soft yarn for a comfortable stretch and fit.
You can choose any yarn and hook that you have on hand. But my other recommendation would be Vanna’s Choice. It is the same weight, is soft and also offers up a lot of stretch for your fabric.

I’m planning to make this hat, however would you clarify why there are two “Round 29”? Is it just a typo and should be Round 30?
Hi Irene, Thank you so much for catching that typo. I’ve corrected it to say Rnd 30.
