Recommended Supplies
- 142 yds Fine Weight Yarn (#2)
- 6.5 mm Crochet Hook
- Yarn Needle
- Scissors
I’ve made this hat with almost a dozen different yarns from my stash, and each one turned out a bit different. If you’re unsure if the yarn you want to use is fine weight, check out this yarn weight guide to be sure. While cotton or acrylic blends work, I love using animal fiber blends for hats. Just make sure your yarn is fine weight (#2). Anything thicker could make the hat too big.
For the hats in the pictures, I used two very different yarns. The green yarn was tonal, with light and dark sections, which created an interesting color pattern. For the taupe hat, I used a solid yarn with a bit of stellina sparkle.
You’ll notice the stitch pattern really pops on the solid taupe hat, while the color pattern is more noticeable on the green one. Keep this in mind when picking your yarn!

Pattern Notes
This crochet hat is crocheted in simple spiral rounds starting with the crown, and working down to the band which you’ll crochet last. Each round is crocheted in a spiral so there are no joins at the back. It’s best to mark the first stitch of every round so you know where you are in the pattern.
Gauge: To check your gauge, crochet the first 4 rounds of the crown. It should measure about 4.5″ in diameter.
Finished Size: This hat is very stretchy so it’ll fit 18″-22″ Head Circumference
If you need to adjust your hook size so that your first 4 rounds measure about 4.5″ in diameter, it’s best if you do so that way the hat will turn out the size you expect.
