Skill Level
Beginner. Basic stitches in basic form. Simple repeats in rounds.
Materials
- I/5.5 mm crochet hook for the hat
- H/5 mm crochet hook for the bow
- Worsted weight yarn #4. I used Lion Brand Yarn’s Wool Ease in Natural Heather for the hat and Arrowwood, Blush Heather, and Oxford Grey for the bows.
- Tapestry needle/Yarn needle
- Measuring Tape to measure head size/head circumference
Gauge
Gauge is important for this pattern.
15 stitches and 10 rows = 4″
To check your gauge, make a gauge swatch by crocheting the first five rounds of the hat. It should measure close to 4.5″ across the middle.
If your swatch is larger than 4.5 inches, your gauge is looser than mine. Try using a smaller crochet hook.
If your swatch is larger than 4.5 inches, your gauge is looser than mine. Try using a smaller crochet hook.

Pattern Notes
- This easy crochet hat pattern starts with a magic circle (also known as a magic ring or adjustable ring). Crochet beginners should check out my magic circle tutorial.
- Leave a long yarn tail for weaving in when you make your magic circle.
- The chain at beginning of each round does not count as your first stitch
- At the end of each round, you should join your yarn with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first dc stitch made in that round.
- Repeat the written pattern instructions between the asterisks (*) for the remainder of the round.
- You are crocheting in the round and also working from the top of the hat down.
- If needed, you can adjust the hat length for different sizes by repeating or eliminating the last row.
- There are different ways to dress up your cute crochet hat patterns. If you prefer to make a yarn Pom Pom instead of a bow, follow the instructions provided in my Slouchy Beanie pattern.
