Hello Everyone!

We’re back to Friday posting after the 10 days of giving crochet pattern blowout! I mean at least until we start the 12 days of Christmas crochet pattern blowout! My fiancĂ© pointed out recently that I haven’t made many items for men this year, and figured I probably get on that with the holidays quickly approaching.

This is a quick to make crochet hat that uses a combination of beginner friendly stitches most should already know. It uses a little over 100 grams of weight 4 yarn, so it can be a nice one skein crochet project depending on the size of your balls of yarn.

This post will contain affiliate links, this just means if you make a purchase using one of my links I may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.

Let’s get hooking!

Supplies

5.5mm crochet hook. I used s=the streamline swirl in Virgo. You can find the hook I used here on Amazon.

about 120 grams of weight 4 yarn. I used wool ease from lion brand.

Scissors. I like the clover brand yarn cutter, I have it attached to the side of my project bag so I never have to worry about misplacing my scissors. You can find that here on Amazon.

Darning needle.

Abbreviations

Ch- Chain

HDC- Half double crochet

Slst- Slip stitch
