Free Crochet Hat Pattern

This free crochet hat pattern is super fast and easy to make. I not only made the hat but filmed the video during a single nap time 🙂 Whether you’re a beginner crocheter or a seasoned pro this is a great short term project… not like the afghan you’ve been working on for the last three years haha!

I designed this hat to fit my 8 year old daughter’s head, but it also fits my wig head so it should fit most adults as well. To follow are a video with step by step instructions, a typed version of the pattern that you can feel free to print off to follow along, and the printable brim pattern piece. Enjoy!
