Crochet hats are one of the most basic style pieces out there, maybe second only to scarves. Hat patterns range in difficulty and skill, they range in style and appearance, and they even range from level of warmth.
See how easy it is to crochet a hat for any type of weather, from a pom-pom beanie for the snowiest of days to a simple slouch hat for anytime at all.
These crochet hats come in both top-down and bottom-up pattern styles, so whether you’re more comfortable with increases or decreases, you’ll find a hat design that’s just perfect for you.
