10 Fabulous & Free Hats Crochet Patterns
I have been on a crochet kick lately.
I’m not sure if it’s because crocheting is faster than knitting or if it’s that there are so many inspiring crochet project ideas available.
Either way, I love being able to do both knitting and crocheting so that I can create whatever I want, I’m not limited to one needlecraft or the other.
If you are ready to take the plunge and learn to crochet, watch these video tutorials, which cover all the basic techniques.
Once you’ve learned the basics, make one (or all) of these ten free crochet hat projects.

#2. Seed Stitch Beanie Free Crochet Hat Pattern
Pattern For Men, Women, and Kids in 4 Sizes! The seed stitch adds texture and warmth to the beanie, helping to protect heads of all sizes from winter winds.

If you are familiar with the seed stitch, then you’ll have this pattern down in no time. If not, the concept of the Seed Stitch beanie is very simple: It alternates sc and dc stitches in one round, then dc, and sc stitches in the next, so that you’ll always have a dc worked into a sc sitch or vice-versa on the non-increasing rounds!
