Skill Level 

Beginner. This free crochet hat pattern uses basic stitches in a simple stitch pattern in rows and rounds. 

Finished Sizes

This hat fits child and adult sizes. 

Hat Size	Circumference	Hat Height
Child	19-20 inches	7.5 inches
Adult	20-23 inches	8.25 inches

Pattern Variations for Different Sizes

This is the perfect crochet hat pattern because you can easily adjust it to be a perfect fit for different head sizes. 

The long sides of the hat go around your head (head circumference). To make the hat bigger, add more rows. To make it smaller, do fewer rows.

The short sides decide the height of the hat. To make the hat height taller, start with a longer starting chain. To make it shorter, use a shorter chain.

Gauge

13 stitches = 4 inches

13 rows = 4 inches

It’s important to make a gauge swatch before you begin. If you have more than 13 stitches in 4 inches, try using a larger size hook. If you have less stitches, try a smaller hook.
