It’s finally here! I asked if you wanted more than just the newborn size pattern for this fun Santa Hat and everyone was like, YES PLEASE!!!  Enjoy all 6 sizes, Newborn all the way to adult of this free crochet Santa hat pattern.

Now you can make crochet Christmas hats for the whole family!  The 6 sizes that are included in this free Santa hat crochet pattern are newborn, 0-6 months, 6-12 months, 12-24 months, Child (3-10 years) and Adult.

Crochet hats make for quick crochet projects!  And around Christmas time, you definitely need fast and easy crochet patterns so you can finish them in time to enjoy them or give them as gifts.

What yarn can you use for this Santa Hat Crochet Pattern?

Any worsted weight yarn that you like and can obtain the correct gauge with will work for this free pattern.  

2 of my favorite worsted weight, acrylic yarns are I Love This Yarn from Hobby Lobby and Brava Worsted from We Crochet.  Both of these yarns are a great choice for this pattern.

I used I Love This Yarn for this hat.

Details about this crocheted hat pattern

This easy crochet Santa hat pattern is worked from the brim up.  It uses 2 basic colors to make the white brim and red body of the hat and is finished off with a white fluffy pom pom attached to the top of the hat.

The foundation row for this hat starts off with foundation double crochet stitches.  I know that a lot of people don’t like doing or know how to crochet the foundation double crochet, but if you don’t start the pattern off with a foundation double crochet then your brim will not be stretchy.

This can cause the hat to not be the right size and fit properly.  I would highly recommend learning the foundation double crochet for this free crochet pattern.
