There are lots of different hats out there to crochet for women, but what about men’s hat crochet patterns? Guys like hats, too, so let’s take a look at the tips you need to know when crocheting hats for guys, plus 31 free and easy crochet patterns for men’s hats.

How to Make a Hat that Fits

In general, there are no differences between crocheting hats for women (or children) and men. The only difference is that men tend to have larger heads than women, so you need to take care that your hat is a little bigger so it will fit the person you want to wear it.

To get the correct measurements, you need to take a tape measure and wrap it around the person’s head, across the forehead, and over the ears if the ears are to be covered by the hat. Be careful not to wrap the tape measure too tightly.

The average head circumference for adults is around 21 to 23 inches. A man’s head has an average of 23 inches, while a woman’s head size is 22 inches. But of course, these may vary, so having an exact measurement helps, especially if you are designing your own hat.

It should also be noted that hats tend to be made with 1-2 inches of negative ease. That is, the hat is worked so it’s a little smaller than the actual head measurement. That’s because yarn stretches and this makes the hat snug but not tight.

How Do You Crochet a Hat?

If you’ve never crocheted a hat before, it’s not too difficult but it’s helpful to understand the construction before you get started. There are three main ways that hats can be crocheted:

Worked flat as a rectangle, then seamed up the side and cinched at the top.
Worked from the top down, starting with a magic circle or a chain made into a circle. Stitches are increased to the size needed, then worked straight to the bottom.
Worked from the bottom up. Ribbing may be worked flat and seamed, with stitches worked into the side to form the hat or any edging may be worked as part of the hat. Here stitches may be decreased toward the top to shape the crown.

Some hats have ribbing while others do not. Ribbing on crochet hats is typically made by working some stitches in the back loop only. This gives the fabric a stretch similar to ribbing in knitting. Check your pattern for more details.

Men’s hat crochet patterns can be worked in any stitch you like, but they are often made with simple, classic stitches like single crochet and half double crochet. These stitches make hats that are warm and comfortable and not likely to be deemed too feminine by the recipient.

If you want to try some different stitches for your hat patterns, check out our Ultimate Crochet Stitch Library. This collection of 45 stitches includes video tutorials to help you learn, and they’re great to use for all sorts of projects.

Now that we’ve covered the basics, let’s get to stitching with these free crochet men’s hat patterns.

Crochet Hat for Women - Featured Image Portrait with Heading

These women crochet hat patterns are great for beginners and advanced crocheters. It’s fun to make and you only need a few things to make them. Let’s get started!

Crochet hats are a great addition to your wardrobe any time of year. From warm beanies in the winter to sun hats in the summer, there’s a crochet hat pattern to suit any need.

There are some many tips, tricks, and techniques that I go over in my Crochet Essential Skills course that can help you perfect the crochet hat. Check out my 72 step by step video classes here free for 2 days.

Table of Contents

Introduction to Crochet Hats for Women

Crochet hats are great items to make for yourself or to give as gifts. From crocheted beanies and messy bun hats to bucket hats for a day at the beach, there’s something for every day and every mood.

Hats are also great gifts to crochet because most people have similar head sizes, so you can guess a little better on the sizing than you could for a garment. And of course, they are wonderful charity projects to donate to hospitals and cancer centers.

You can make hats with simple crochet stitches or get creative with bobbles, shells, and other fun techniques. If you don’t see a crochet hat pattern here that suits you, check out my Ultimate Crochet Stitch Library, which has 45 different stitch pattern options you can try on hats or any other project you like!

The Best Yarn for Crocheting Hats

With all the yarns available, it can be confusing to choose the yarn appropriate for making hats. But when you are making crochet hats for women, make sure to choose something light and soft that will keep you warm (if you’re crocheting winter hats).

In general, these are the types of yarns that are best for different kinds of hats. Each project below has a recommended yarn as well.

Summer hats: cotton, raffia, cotton blends

Winter hats: wool, alpaca, wool blends

Bucket hats: cotton, linen

Chemo hats: cotton, silk, bamboo, anything soft and machine washable

Many of these hats use worsted weight yarn, which is in the middle of yarn weights. Of course, your pattern may call for lighter or heavier weight yarn depending on its purpose.

How Long Does it Take to Crochet a Hat?

Crocheting a hat is one of the simplest projects you can do and if you are an advanced beginner, creating one can take about 30 minutes to 6 hours. This will depend on your crochet skill level, your speed at crocheting, and the type and size of the hat you are making.

Different yarns also mean different gauges, which can affect the time you spent making one. But if you are an experienced crocheter, then you can crochet a hat quickly. Simple beanies won't consume many hours even if you are a beginner crocheter.

Beanie vs. Bucket Hats

Among the crochet hats that you'll encounter, two of the most common are beanies and bucket hats. But which ones are easier to make?

Bucket hats are usually made using a single stitch type repeating around the hat, which can make them a little easier than projects that use multiple stitch patterns.

Both bucket hats and beanies may include increasing or decreasing (depending on which direction they are worked) so it’s good to have a handle on the basics before you get started. My Crochet Fundamentals workshop covers shaping, basic stitches, and lots more great information to give your crochet skills a boost.

Ultimately choosing between beanies and bucket hats has to do with your personal style and needs for your new hat. It’s fun to know how to stitch both and we’ve got plenty of options for both below.

Materials Needed for Making Crochet Hats

To crochet a hat, you need, of course, your chosen yarn and a corresponding crochet hook. You’ll also need a tapestry needle for weaving in ends, and scissors to trim off excess yarn.

You will also need a tape measure or ruler and stitch markers if you are working in the round or want to mark the beginning and end of each row.

Other notions that might be used include a faux fur pom-pom (or you can get a pom-pom maker to make your own!), or buttons.

Hat Sizes

When it comes to crochet hats, the head circumference of the person you are stitching for matters. The average size for a woman’s hat is 22 inches, but of course, this does not apply to everyone. Some teenage girls, for example, have smaller heads compared to adults and have an average size of 20-22 inches.

Adult women may range from 21-23 inches in head circumference, and it can vary depending on how thick the person’s hair is (or if they have hair).

Crochet hat patterns typically shoot for the middle of the range, and luckily hats are a little stretchy, so if you don’t have the exact head to measure or are stitching for charity the standard sizes used in patterns will probably work for you.
Now that you know what yarn to use, the size of the hat you’ll be making, and you have your materials ready, let’s start crocheting! Here are 30 crochet hat patterns for women that will surely make you excited to start your crochet project.

I had planned to make myself a new hat, but about halfway through, I couldn't decide if this should be MY hat or for my daughter. She is 7 now, and we can share hats! It seems that most children's hat sizes fit me and most small adult hat sizes fit her. She is growing up so fast, it's not even fair!!! After taking the photo, she told me she wants to keep that hat for wearing to school… maybe next winter I will be able to take over and start wearing it myself. 😉

What’s even better, I am giving you FREE access to watch these videos for 2 days! Register here now to gain instant access.

My goal was to use only one skein of Super Saver Stripes – Latte Stripes, but to make this hat have the perfect slight slouch to it and a large full pom pom, I had to bust out a second skein. I didn't even use half of the second, leaving you enough yarn to make fingerless gloves or an ear warmer set if you're looking to stay extra cozy!

Newborn – Double Knot Beanie Crochet Pattern

December 10, 2017 By Corina 16 Comments

Awww… we're sure your little one will be the most adorable wherever they are with this hat! This soft and snug head accessory doesn't take that much time to make so you can make multiple colors then mix and match with their onesies! If you'd like to know how it's made, scroll along for the pattern or get the ad-free printable PDF pattern here.

Double Knot Beanie Crochet Pattern

I have exciting news! As many of you know from my very personal post, Gods Timing, my husband and I have struggled with fertility. To my little family's surprise, WE ARE EXPECTING!!! My 6-year-old daughter is beyond thrilled. My 15-year-old stepson is a little… eh, it's another girl… He might be feeling a bit outnumbered 😉 but we could not be happier!!

What does this mean for Stitch11? Well, when I first taught myself crochet in 2012, my daughter was already a 1 year old. So… I've always kind of struggled with the Newborn/Baby themed patterns. Not anymore! 😉

For my first crochet hat designed with my baby girl in mind, I wanted to make a double knot beanie. I want a newborn size, but keep in mind the size my older daughter was when she was born. I wanted to make sure this hat will easily stretch to fit a newborn with that not so little head.

If you enjoy crocheting toys for the little people in your life, check out these incredibly cute stuffies in the Crochet Anything with Hexagons class.

Double Knot Beanie Crochet Pattern

Beanie measures 6.5 inches wide – for 13″ circumference while allowing stretching and growing room.
Beanie measures 5.25 inches tall.

Supplies
Red Heart Super Saver – Medium Weight
H – 5 mm crochet hook
Yarn needle for weaving in ends

Stitches
CH – Chain
SC – Single Crochet
Slip Stitch
DC – Double Crochet
3 HDC Popcorn Stitch
FPSC – Front Post Single Crochet

How to crochet the 3 HDC Popcorn Stitch
-Work 3 half double crochet (hdc) stitches in the same stitch.
-Drop the loop from your hook.
-Insert your hook from front to back under the top 2 loops of the first half double crochet of the group.
-Grab the dropped loop with your hook and pull it through the stitch.

To start this beanie, we will make the CH for the top of the hat and the knots portion first.

Step 1: CH 46. Join to first CH.

Step 2: CH 14. Turn. Skip 1 CH. SC into next 13 CH.

Step 3: Slip stitch into next CH from starting CH.

Step 4: CH 1. Turn. SC back up, into each of the next 13 SC.

Step 5: CH 1. Turn. SC back down, into each of the next 13 SC.

Step 6: Slip stitch into next CH from starting CH.

Step 7: Folding the starting CH flat, Slip stitch together the two sides, through the top loops of next 20 CH.

Step 8: Repeat steps 2-7.

Working in the bottom loops of starting CH, you will now work in the round. Round 1, in my opinion, maybe the hardest round of the pattern, only because you have to identify the bottom loops of the starting CH. Just remember they are on the opposite side as the slip stitch you joined the CH together with. Trust yourself, you got this!!

Round 1: Slip stitch into the 1st (nearest) bottom loop of starting CH. CH 1. SC into same loop and into each of the next 45 loops. Join to first SC. (46 SC)

Round 2: CH 1. SC into each stitch around. Join to first SC. (46 SC)
Round 3: CH 1. HDC into first SC. Popcorn Stitch into next SC. *HDC into next SC. Popcorn Stitch into next SC. Repeat from * around. Join to first HDC. (46 stitches)
Rounds 4-17: Repeat rounds 2 and 3 seven more times.
Round 18: CH 1. SC into each stitch around. Join to first SC. (46 SC)
Round 19: CH 1. FPSC around each SC. Join to first FPSC. (46 FPSC)
Finish off and weave in your ends.
Tie a knot on both sides of the top of the beanie.

Dreaded Chemo Hat

June 24, 2017 By Corina 9 Comments

Dreaded Chemo Hat - Free Crochet pattern

My aunt was recently diagnosed with leukemia. I had asked her if there was anything I could do for her, and her only request was a dreaded chemo hat.
By the way, my aunt is brilliant!

You can use any hat pattern you wish! I used The Adult Beanie for Men and Women. I only increased to 70 stitches. Get the free Stitch11 pattern HERE.

The yarn for the beanie is Red Heart Sparkle Soft. You can buy Red Heart Sparkle Soft HERE.

For the Dreads I used a 6 mm crochet hook and Red Heart Super Saver in the colors Buff, Mushroom, and Warm Brown. You can buy Red Heart Super Saver HERE.

With the dreads, I used two strands held together.

Chain 41, turn, slip stitch up next 40 Chains.
Finish off leaving long enough ends for attaching.

Before attaching you will want to brush the dreads with velcro.
When attaching the dreads, be sure to weave back and forth at least twice… or until it feels secure. You will weave two strands at a time… helping to secure it to the max.
I added a few extra dreads behind the front ones to make it full and have depth like real dreads.
With the photos below, you can see the difference the velco makes, and also how I attached the dreads.

Golf Cap – Free Crochet Pattern – Review

August 19, 2016 By Corina 2 Comments

Golf Cap - Free Crochet Pattern - Review by Stitch11- Design by Moogly

The men my husband works with have been planning a company golf outing. My husband begged me to crochet him a golfers hat. I'm not 100% sure if he's wanting it to be cool, or funny- probably both! Ha!

I remember Moogly sharing a free pattern for both adult and child size Golf Caps, so I didn't even have to hunt a pattern down!

GET YOUR FREE COPY HERE!

As always, Moogly's pattern is very easy to follow! I was so very happy to find out how quickly the golf cap worked up! It took no time at all!!

I didn't want to ask my husband to model for me… but maybe I can talk him into snapping a selfie on the golf course!

Another Child Mouse Hat

December 16, 2015 By Corina Leave a Comment

Each time I make something… I tend to want to do things a little differently.
I decided to use Caron Simply Soft this time.
In order to get the correct size, instead of using the original Minnie Mouse Hat for Preschoolers or the Child Size Minnie Mouse Hat, I used the Hat Pattern from the Batman Hat.
I paired the hat with the ears from the Preschool Minnie Mouse Hat. I used two strands of caron simply soft held together to make sure they would be strong. (instead of making 2 layers for each ear) I still crocheted the edging around the ear.
For the bow, I held 3 strands of Red Heart Soft together and followed the free Boutique Bow pattern.

-Note- Use your own judgement. You may want to add or subracts rounds for your own liking. You may also want to change them if one color works up thinner/tighter than the other.

Finish off leaving long tail for attaching. Repeat for each color.

When attaching the hair, I attaches the entire way around the first round of each piece. I also then secured the red, orange, and yellow by attaching it in more than one area to make it lay where I wish.

Eyes

I used THIS TUTORIAL as a guide for making the eyes. My daughter wanted “normal” eyes…. but a part of me wishes she would have went for the angry look. Either way, get crafty and have fun! Remember, google images is your friend! You will also find crochet tutorials for eyes like this.
I used a hot glue gun to piece together and attach the eyes.
