Granny Stitch Crochet Hat

January 10, 2020 · Rhelena · 12 Comments

The granny stitch crochet hat pattern is now available in multiple sizes including sizes 1-3m, 1-3y, child/adult XS, adult M, and adult L.

It features a slight variation of the granny stitch to give you a more of an open stitch pattern that is perfect for transitional weather. It’s the perfect hat in the summer to tame your hair. You also also wear this under a jacket hood in freezing cold winter weather.

Another great thing about this hat is that you really don’t need much yarn for this, especially for the smaller sizes. So if you’re making a baby blanket, you could in many cases use the leftover yarn to whip up this hat to go with the blanket. Thus a win-win for everyone!

How It’s Made

This hat is made from the top down in one piece. I worked a chain 2 in between the three double crochets to give you a nice open granny stitch.

The different sizes are created by doing more or less repeats of the increase rounds at the crown. Also note the different increases made in rounds 4 and 5 for the different sizes. Once your crown is the desired size, the sides are worked in an even pattern for all sizes. This Crochet Hat Size Chart by Age might be of help in determining how big to make your crown.

The textured brim is made simply by crocheting into the back loops of the previous round.

Recommended Yarn

I used a light # 3 baby yarn for this hat including Bernat Softee Baby and Bernat Baby Sport and both came out the same size. The above is shown in baby sport, and the below images is shown in softee baby. If you’re making this for yourself, children or grownups, you can easily switch up your yarn with another DK yarn weight if you like.

    Why is it square I am on row 5 and not even round?

      Hi Karri,

      Round 5 is only the first round worked in an even pattern, so naturally it will still look square. As you repeat that round you’ll begin to see it take on a rounded shape.

      This was one of my first patterns, so I did a quick re-write to make it easier to understand.

      Hope that helps, and let me know if you have any other questions.

      Thanks so much,
      rhelena

    I know this is an older post but I was wondering if I could sell the hat from this pattern?

    Great little 1 hour project. I was looking for something to make with this new stretchy yarn. Gotta have one in every color. Can wear this over top of beanie on cold days. Thanks for posting!

    Dear Rhelena,

    I’ve been crocheting for many years.
    I read so many instructions that make me doubt
    my intelligence or my skill until I “play” with them
    and realize it’s the faulty instructions, not me.
    THANK YOU for your clear, easy-to-follow
    instructions. The Granny Stitch Hat that matches
    my jacket was a pleasure to create and quickly;
    just in time for our eary morning cold weather
    dog walks !
