Easy Crochet Textured Winter Hat

I came up with this design on a whim because I wanted a hat that was great for market prep. It is a quick project that is easy to memorize, and only takes 1 skein of chunky weight yarn-which means more money in your pocket!

Awesome tutorial. Your explanations were clear and concise, and I learned a new stitch with the crab stitch!

[@myattt7173]

Thank you for an easy, well explained tutorial. I really like that you do not talk too much while teaching the pattern

[@Rosie906]

Someone posted on Facebook today that this was their favorite hat pattern so I purchased it as I have a lot of Hometown yarn from a recent sale. Then, I saw that you have a video for it as well and you are great with showing how to crochet it! I’m going to try it now ❤️

[@DaysCrochet]

Thank you so much!

[@josephinebaich8341]

Such a beautiful pattern! Your tutorial was excellent and done at a great pace. I am currently crocheting this hat! Thank-you for sharing! 😊

[@tammi67able]

This is a beautiful hat and a great training video, I’ve never made a hat made in this way, thanks for sharing a beautiful hat

[@DaysCrochet]

Thank you❤️ I'm so glad you enjoyed the tutorial ☺️

[@Wreinie]

2 years later, and lots of great patterns out there, but this one is still my all time favorite of all time to make. I learned something just now from another video that is soo going to be a game changer for me! I never have bulky yarn, so my texture doesnt show up as much, but I saw how to use ONE skein of acrylic Worsted weight regular acrylic yarn to work up 3 strands. My mind was blown! It may not be a new technique to the crochet community, but it is for me, and maybe others. Not sure if I can say who taught it, but there are many pumpkin patterns out there that have this technique. I can not wait to see how this beautiful hat will be using that method! I believe I'm on your FB, I will post it up tomorrow or this weekend. Bed time now for early work in the morning. I'm beyond excited and just had to share with you :) Thank you again for such a beautiful hat!

[@DaysCrochet]

Thank you for you kind comment and your tip! I have heard of this trick, but I had forgotten about it. I would love to see your finished work when you're done trying it out!

[@mariananiculae64]

I fond this patern few day's ago. I love it. Thank's for share. Great job. All the best form Bucharest, România.

L11 isn't an 11mm hook. It's an 8mm hook! (when she refers to the slouchy version of the hat).

Yes, sorry. Several people have already corrected me. I’m human after all🙃

[@donnazingaro8688]

I think I’ve made all of your hat patterns but this is my favorite! I put a “fur” yarn trim around the brim and made the Pom Pom out of the fur yarn. I love it and it’s easily converted to any weight yarn. Thanks so much for sharing this pattern! I’m seriously pondering how to make a cardigan sweater using it. You are a genius!

You are sweet! Thank you!

[@DaysCrochet]

Thank you for such kind words! ❤️

[@TeriDean]

Such a lovely pattern! It’s easily adaptable as well. I prefer a more fitted look on the crown, so I make it in a round, working up from a slip stitch brim and ending with HDC decreases at the top. I also used worsted weight yarn and it turned out amazing. Thank you for this wonderful alternating stitch pattern!

[@DaysCrochet]

I'm so glad you like it! I agree, I've started doing a few rounds of sc decrease when I make a super bulky weight version. I would love to see it in worsted weight! Please tag me at dayscrochetnc if you decide to share☺️🙏🏻

[@TeriDean]

@@DaysCrochet I would, but I realized afterwards that I neglected to turn my work after the mock bobble rounds, so I essentially ended up with a reversible beanie! One side knit look, the other bobbles haha. When I make it again correctly, I’ll tag you 😁

[@DaysCrochet]

@@TeriDean I'm so intrigued! I wish I could see it because I can't picture how you could not not turn on this particular hat. Maybe you're referring to my Baelynn Beanie?

[@chelseaandhobbes]

What hook size?

[@TeriDean]

@@chelseaandhobbes I used a 5.5 for the worsted weight yarn.

Wow! I have 20 plus skeins of this exact yarn (Hometown) as it was on clearance for $1 or $2 at Walmart. I used a little of it, including some on a hat for my son. The hat came out huge, so I was discouraged and packed it away (not your pattern). This will give me a beautiful hat and maybe gifts for my family for next Christmas! Thanks!

[@CherylDFloyd]

Excellent video! Beautiful hat! I look forward to making one soon. Just a quick note...it's not the brim of the hat. It's the band. If you look up the definition of the brim of a hat, it's the horizontal part, like on a cowboy hat. It's the flat circle that keeps the sun out of your eyes. The band is what goes AROUND the head, like a headBAND.

Cute hat with good instruction & I'm getting ready to follow along! However... I'm a wee confused. You said & closed captions confirmed, you used "an L, 11mm hook" but it looks(?) (tiny phone screen) as though the hook is an *L, 8mm* and that's what the label calls for also. I presume it was just a slip of the tongue? :)

[@DaysCrochet]

Yes, I was mistaken! Sorry about that!

Thank you! It would be up to you if you wanted to change the look of the top portion. If you didn’t like the closure, I would ad a round or two of sc decreases along the top. Are you familiar with what I’m talking about?

[@jayneriley4103]

Hi I would love to make this for a baby it’s lovely do you have the pattern for a smaller one please

[@DaysCrochet]

Since the entire thing is made up of 4 repeating rows and according to measurements, I would probably start off by getting thinner yarn and a smaller hook so that it doesn’t look too bulky on a baby’s head. Then you will need to look up measurements for standard hat sizes (or just measure your baby’s head circumference and from crown to ear) and make the rectangle according to those measurements. The crown to ear measurement will be what you need to make your foundation chain. Then make the panel until it measures the circumference.

[@gingerrohloff6647]

Where do you get your little tags?

[@tammyporter7760]

Can you make a scarf out of this pattern?

[@DaysCrochet]

I don’t see why not! You’ may want to do it in rows the full length of the scarf, but you could realistically do it the width of the scarf as well.

[@_-Sweets-_]

I'm sorry sweetheart, do you mean sc? I'm not sure what multiples of 2 means
