A handmade hat is special because you made it by your hand with someone in mind the whole time you were creating it. Whether you’re new to crocheting or just need a project that works up quickly, this free crochet hat pattern for beginners is surprisingly easy.
Many hats are made by crocheting in the round with increases and decreases, but it’s possible to work a hat flat and then seam the edges together. This hat is a good example of this.

Hola soy Olga de Argentina y amo hacer tus gorros. Muchas gracias por compartir tus conocimientos ❤
Hi, I’m new to crochet and this looks like a great beanie to attempt.
I’m going to attempt this with a bulkier yarn, approximately how long is the beanie top to bottom? Thanks 😀
Hi Sirin
Thank you for the great pattern and tutorial. I noticed in the written pattern you write ”bpsc”, back post single crochet. After watching the video I think it should be ”BL sc”, back loop single crochet.
All the best x
I love that you have SO many free patterns. Thank you and may the Lord Bless you!
