How to Crochet a Hat for Beginners
So you want to crochet a hat, but you don’t want to have to worry about crocheting in the round, shaping, or anything like that? This is the pattern for you. If you can crochet a simple rectangle, you can make this quick and easy hat!
Crochet a Hat from a Rectangle
Out of all the crochet projects I have designed, this one is the simplest to make. (It was also super fun to design!)
If you’ve ever done a search for “easy crochet hat pattern for beginners,” you may have only seen simple hats crocheted in the round, typically with half double crochet or double crochet stitches. Crocheting in the round can be fun, and can open up a whole world of project possibilities, but it can be intimidating for new crocheters. With this hat, you don’t need to know how to work in the round at all.
These quick and easy hats make great gifts, and can be worn as slouchy hats or regular crochet beanie hats. Whether you’re making kids hats, baby hats for newborns or toddlers, or adult size hats, this easy crochet beanie pattern will help you whip up cozy winter hats in no time at all.
Pssst: I also have a free knitting pattern for this hat, which you can find here.

The Perfect First Project for Beginner Crocheters
If you’re a brand-new beginner, and you’re ready to move on from sample pieces to real projects, this hat is just the type of thing you’ll want to make for your first project. Basic stitches, simple techniques, and you can use whatever type of yarn you have.
You will, however, want to check your gauge before beginning and make sure you’re using the hook size that will give you the correct gauge for the pattern with your personal crochet tension. This will help make sure your hat comes out the right size, and fits the wearer properly. My video tutorials for all the basic skills you need to know are linked in the pattern below.

About the Pattern
This simple-to-make hat is made from a crocheted rectangle! It’s the perfect project for a beginner crocheter, or anytime you want to make a quick and easy project. The hat can be worn with the brim folded up, or with the brim unfolded for a slouchy look. Add an optional pom pom for an extra touch of style.
Pattern includes instructions for 10 sizes, so you can make a cozy crocheted hat for all your friends and family. The pattern is also written in 6 different yarn weights, so you can use any yarn you like, from a #1 Superfine to #6 Super Bulky.
In the photos above, from left to right, top row, hats are made from #1 Superfine (sock / fingering) yarn, #3 Light (DK / Light Worsted) yarn, and #6 Super Bulky yarn. Bottom row, from left to right, hats are made from #5 Bulky (chunky) yarn, #4 Medium (worsted / aran) yarn, and #2 Fine (sport weight / baby) yarn.
Measurements & Sizing
Choose a size by measuring the wearer’s head circumference, and comparing it to these measurements. Select the size that most closely matches the head circumference measurement. The measurements below show what size head each size hat will fit.
Sizes (according to the wearer’s head circumference measurement):
Preemie: 12”, or 30.4 cm circumference
0-6 Months: 13”, or 33 cm circumference
6-12 Months: 14”, or 35.5 cm circumference
12-18 Months: 16”, or 40.6 cm circumference
Child Small: 17”, 43.2 cm circumference
Child Medium: 18”, or 45.7 cm circumference
Child Large: 19.25”, or 48.9 cm circumference
Adult Small: 21”, or 53.3 cm circumference
Adult Medium: 22”, or 55.8 cm circumference
Adult Large: 23”, or 58.4 cm circumference
Finished Hat Length:
Preemie: 6” (includes 1.5” brim), or 15.2 cm (includes 3.8cm brim)
0-6 Months: 6.75” (includes 1.75” brim), or 17.1 cm (includes 4.4cm brim)
6-12 Months: 7.25” (includes 1.75” brim), or 18.4 cm (includes 4.4cm brim)
12-18 Months: 8.75” (includes 2” brim), or 22.2 cm (includes 5cm brim)
Child Small: 9.5” (includes 2.25” brim), or 24.1 cm (includes 5.7cm brim)
Child Medium: 10” (includes 2.5” brim), or 25.4 cm (includes 6.3cm brim)
Child Large: 10.25” (includes 2.5” brim), or 26 cm (includes 6.3cm brim)
Adult Small: 11” (includes 3” brim), or 28 cm (includes 7.6cm brim)
Adult Medium: 11.25” (includes 3” brim), or 28.5 cm (includes 7.6cm brim)
Adult Large: 11.5” (includes 3” brim), or 29.2 cm (includes 7.6cm brim)
Please Note: The finished hat is smaller than the wearer’s head circumference. This is for a reason. The fabric we’re making in back-loop-only single crochet is very stretchy. Therefore, the hat needs to be smaller than the head so that it can stretch to comfortably fit on the head. However, this hat does not fit tight, it is just comfortably snug so it won’t slide off the head.
Actual Finished Circumference, Unstretched:
Preemie: 9.25”, or 23.5 cm
0-6 Months: 10.25”, or 26 cm
6-12 Months: 11”, or 28 cm
12-18 Months: 12.25”, or 31.1 cm
Child Small: 13”, or 33 cm
Child Medium: 13.75”, or 34.9 cm
Child Large: 14.75”, or 37.5 cm
Adult Small: 16” , or 40.6 cm
Adult Medium: 16.75”, or 42.5 cm
Adult Large: 17.5”, or 44.5 cm
Finished Hat Will Stretch to At Least:
Preemie: 12.75”, or 32 cm
0-6 Months: 14”, or 35.6 cm
6-12 Months: 15”, or 38 cm
12-18 Months: 16.75”, or 42.2 cm
Child Small: 17.75”, or 45 cm
Child Medium: 18.75”, or 47.6 cm
Child Large: 20”, or 50.8 cm
Adult Small: 21.75” , or 55.2 cm
Adult Medium: 22.75”, or 57.8 cm
Adult Large: 23.75”, or 60.3 cm
Next, choose the yarn you would like to use, and check the label to see what weight category your yarn is in. Click Here for more information on the Standard Yarn Weight System.
Checking Your Gauge
It is important to check your gauge before beginning. Gauge is a measurement of the size of your stitches. Every crocheter is different, and some crochet tighter or looser than others. The hook sizes given below are a recommendation only. You’ll need to choose a hook size that gets you the correct gauge for the pattern with your own personal crochet tension.
To check your gauge, use the recommended hook size and the yarn you are using to crochet a square at least 6” by 6” (15 cm by 15 cm), working rows of single crochet in the back loop only. (tutorial for working in the back loop here) (You can always unravel your swatch and use the same yarn for your hat if you need it.) Click Here to learn more about gauge.
Then, you’ll need to block your square. Blocking is a step that should be done on almost every project. It helps relax the fabric, and get it to its final look and feel. Since blocking relaxes the fabric a bit, it can change the size of your stitches. This is why it is important to measure your gauge after you have blocked your gauge swatch. Then, the finished project will come out to the correct size after it is blocked. Click Here to learn more about how to block your crochet.
Once your gauge swatch is blocked, you can measure your gauge. If your stitches are the correct size for this pattern, you will get the same measurement as given below for the yarn weight you are using.
You will need to know how to count your stitches and rows to properly measure your gauge. Click Here to learn how to count stitches.
If your stitches are too small, you’ll get more stitches than the pattern calls for in the same measurement. In this case, you’ll need to use a larger hook size and check your gauge again.
If your stitches are too large, you will not have enough stitches as the pattern calls for in the same measurement. In this case, you’ll need to use a smaller hook size and check your gauge again.
You will also want to check your yarn label to make sure you have enough yarn for the size of hat you want to make.

All Yarn Weights: Once you have finished crocheting your rectangle according to the instructions, tie off, leaving a long tail for seaming.
Before we begin assembling our hat, it’s important to block our rectangle at this point. Blocking helps relax the fabric, and get it to its final look and feel. For more information on how to block your crochet, click here for a video tutorial.
To Block
For natural fibers, pin project out to finished measurements (below) on foam blocking mats. Spray with water until fully saturated, allow to dry.
OR
For acrylic fibers, pin project out to finished measurements (below) on an ironing board or several layers of towels. Hold a steaming iron 2-3” over the surface of the fabric, making sure all of the fabric is penetrated by the steam. Allow to cool / dry.

Assembly
Lay your rectangle out so the rows are running vertically. The foundation chain edge should be at one side, and the last row at the other side.
Bring the two short edges to the center. Thread the long yarn tail through your yarn needle.
Beginning at the corners, stitch the two short ends of the rectangle together. I use a whip stitch for this. To make the seam as invisible as possible, make sure the back of the first row and the front of the last row are facing you as you stitch. As you take each stitch, insert the needle into one chain from the foundation edge, and the front loop of a stitch from the last row. Once you have finished the seam, take one more stitch at the end of the seam, wrap the yarn around the needle, and pull the needle through to make a knot.
We will now cinch the top of the hat closed. Your rectangle is now sewn into a tube. With your yarn needle, make your way around the top edge of the tube, picking up one strand of yarn from every other row.
Once you have picked up stitches all the way around the edge, pull on your yarn to tighten, and cinch the hat closed.
Bring the yarn needle through to the inside of the hat. Pull on the yarn to make sure the top of the hat is cinched tightly. Then, take a small stitch on the inside of the hat, right next to the hole, wrap the yarn around the needle, and pull the needle through to make a knot.
If the hole is not tight enough at this point, you can go back around the edge of the hole, and pick up a few of those cinched strands around the hole with your needle. Then, cinch closed again, and make another knot to secure.
If you are not adding a pom pom, or if you are using Super Bulky yarn, weave in the yarn tails. (If using Super Bulky, use embroidery floss to add remaining details.)
If you would like to add a pom pom, you can use what’s left of the current yarn tail to attach the pom pom. I used faux fur pom poms, and the ones I use have an elastic loop on the bottom with which to attach them. I chose to sew a button to the inside of the hat, and pull the loop through the top of the hat and around the button. This makes the pom pom removable so the hat can be washed.
To add a pom pom in this manner, use the remaining yarn tail to sew a button to the inside of the top of the hat, right next to the little hole at the top. Then, make a small knot on the inside of the hat, and weave in the yarn tail. To add the pom pom, use your crochet hook or your fingers from the inside of the hat to grab the elastic loop on the pom pom and pull the loop through the hole at the top to the inside of the hat, and stretch it around the button to secure.
Now, you can add a leather or faux leather tag if you like. I chose to fold my tag around the edge of the hat.
If you are using Super Bulky yarn, you will need to use embroidery floss to sew on the tag, as the yarn will likely be too thick to fit through the holes in the tag. If you are using a thinner yarn, you can use a length of your project yarn to sew on your tag.
Weave in any remaining yarn tails.
Ta-Da! You’ve just made a simple hat out of a crocheted rectangle. Now all that’s left to do is to wear it.

Do you have yarn recommendations for the #5 bulky yarns? I can’t find anything that gauges 12 sc 15 rows kn 4″ with a K hook
Hi Ally. If your gauge is not matching the pattern with the yarn and hook you are using, then you’ll need to change hook sizes to adjust your gauge. Perhaps this tutorial will help: https://yayforyarn.com/knit-crochet-gauge/. If your stitches are too large (less than 12 sc in 4″), then you’ll need to go down a hook size and check your gauge again. If the stitches are too small (more than 12 sc in 4″), then you’ll need to go up a hook size and try again. Once you find the hook size that gets you the correct pattern gauge with the yarn you’re using and your personal crochet tension, then you can follow the pattern as written. I hope this helps!
I need help with how many chains do I chain if around the head is 25.5 inches around and 9 inches tall for a mans hat?t
Hi Tanya. The exact number of chains to start with will depend on the yarn weight you are using. For a hat custom fit to those measurements, I would suggest starting with the number of chains given in the pattern for an Adult Large, and then adding a few more (making the chain about 1/2″ to 3/4″ longer than the original number of chains specified in the pattern). Then, follow the pattern instructions, but continue repeating Row 2 until your rectangle is at least 22″-23″ long from the foundation edge to the current row. You can then finish the hat according to the instructions. I hope this helps!
Hello, I have been looking at your patterns for the easy knit and crochet hat. My grandmother taught me both of those 55 years ago. I have made those so many times I can’t even count. I have even made the crochet one into a pumpkin/gourd.
Thanks for the great pattern, could you tell me the length of the medium adult hat before it’s seamed together please
Hi. The rectangle for the Adult Medium size should measure 16.75″ from cast on to bind off edge after blocking. I hope this helps!
Hi, love this hat, I made it in aran and it’s quite baggy so was wondering if I should go down to a 5mm or 4.5 hook. I think I crochet too loosely and have tried all ways to tighten my tension but still turns out loose.
Hi. If you think you might be crocheting too loosely, you can check that by measuring your gauge. I have a post on that here. If your gauge is looser than what the pattern requires for #4 weight yarn, you’ll definitely need to go down in hook size. The hook size given in a pattern is always a recommendation only, as it is far more important to match the pattern gauge than to use the same size hook called for in the pattern. If you need to tighten the way your yarn flows through your hand, you might try wrapping the yarn around one of your fingers in your yarn tensioning hand. When the yarn is running around a finger, it adds more tension. You can even wrap the yarn around another finger in your tension hand if you still need more tension. I hope this helps!
Love this hat as I am a beginner. Was wondering if I can add ear flaps to this hat
Hi Regina. Yes, you could add earflaps if you like. However, this hat is designed to either be worn slouchy or with the brim folded up, so before adding earflaps, you may need to shorten the length of the hat. (To do this, you’ll need to reduce the number of stitches you begin with. Refer to the hat measurements to determine how much length you’ll need to remove to eliminate the brim.) Then, you can add your earflaps once the hat is done. I hope this helps!
Hi!
I’m sort of a newbie. For #4 Medium Yarn I had to go down to a D 3.25 mm hook to get the gauge indicated, can that be right?
Hi Karla. If you had to go down to a hook that small, it may be that your tension is very, very loose. Have you tried a different way of running the yarn through your hand? If you have the yarn wrap around one of your fingers, that can add more tension to the yarn if you need it. You could use the D hook if you want to, and the hat will turn out fine if your gauge is correct. However, some tension adjustment would be a great help. (With a drastically looser tension, there will be many cases where the hook sizes don’t go down small enough to get gauge without the hook tip being too small to grab the yarn without splitting.) I hope this helps!
I’m having the same problem with the number 3 weight yarn there’s no way possible to get the 24 stitches required in the 4in I’ve gone down to a size e hook and I’ve been crochet for 30 years
Hi Judith. Have you tried running the yarn through your hand a different way? Sometimes that can help with tension adjustments for various patterns. If you like, you could just make a rectangle in BLO single crochet that will come out to the finished measurements for the size you want to make, even if your gauge does not match the pattern. The important thing is that the finished rectangle comes out the correct size, so you could alter the stitch and row counts to make it work for your gauge. I hope this helps!
I like your hat!
Please help me to adjust or shorten the hat using this pattern. My customer wrongly give hat length. So i crocheted to long. Help me the way to make it shorter.thanks
Hi. If you are referring to the length from one side edge to the other, that cannot be shortened without unraveling, but you can fold the brim up more to adjust the length when wearing the hat. If you need to shorten the length from foundation edge to last row, you can just unravel a few rows until the piece is the length you want, and then assemble the hat. If you have already sewn the seams of the hat, you’ll need to undo the seam so the hat is a flat rectangle to make this adjustment. I hope this helps!
I like your hat because your hat is beautiful. You used lion brand color made easy yarn for crocheting your hat. That’s my favorite yarn. My favorite color made easy yarn color is millennial, kingfisher, huckleberry, pomegranate, Malachite, shade, caviar, and pink lemonade.
Hi, I want to do a beanie in 3 broadish horizontal stripes. How do I do this with this pattern?😆
Hi Cait. With this pattern, if you changed colors after each set of 12 rows, for instance, you would get vertical stripes. Horizontal stripes would be much more difficult with this pattern, because it is worked sideways. If you would like to do horizontal stripes, my Seamless Double Crochet Hat pattern would be more suitable. I hope this helps!
Thank you so much for the quick response. Very much appreciated.
I will give the seamless hat a go. 😆
