60+ Free Crochet Hat Patterns for the Entire Family

Whether you love to crochet or are just learning, crochet hat patterns are used to create one of the most popular crocheted items.  

We’ve put together a great line-up of free crochet hat patterns that run the gamut from fun to formal, delicate to chunky, decorative to functional (think warm, cozy hats for winter).

It was a main goal of ours to find a range of crochet hat patterns that included patterns for beginners as well as more challenging hat patterns for those seasoned in the art of crochet.

And we can confidently say that we have done just that!

Slouchy Hat Patterns to Crochet

Crochet Hat by ChrisCrochet Hat made by Chris from Needlepointers.com

Check out the popular slouchy crochet hat patterns!  One of the slouchy patterns is great for beginners because the hat is made from a crocheted rectangle. 

Winter Hat Crochet Patterns

We also have a great pattern for a buffalo plaid winter hat.  Buffalo plaid is a win with any age or gender right now!

You can whip up this cozy buffalo plaid hat featuring three different shades of red yarn that cleverly uses colorwork to create this classic pattern.

Get ready for the great outdoors with the crochet hat patterns we have to create cozy textured winter hats for the whole family. Interesting textures are made by combining different crochet stitches.

And of course, many of the winter hats have that ever-popular faux fur pom pom on the top to make it complete!

Below, you will find patterns for crocheted berets, floppy, wide-brimmed summer hats, hats embellished with flowers, rimmed men’s hats, a lovely cloche hat, cute baby hats, and even beanies. 

We have a wonderful collection for you! 

Easy Crochet Hat Patterns

Several of the crochet hat patterns are amazingly simple and can be made in about an hour.  These hats are perfect for a quick last minute gift or to be made and given to charities.
