Hello Everyone!
Today is day 2 of my 12 days of Christmas crochet pattern blowout, and I’m bringing you a hat that screams Christmas that can easily be made in an afternoon. This crochet candy cane hat uses a weight 6 yarn that works up beautifully into a soft warm hat. It also only uses beginner friendly stitches, making it a great project for those of you just starting out who are hoping to make some last minute crochet gifts for the holidays.
The theme of this crochet pattern blowout is projects you can make in a day or less to get some last minute crochet gifts done for those of you who are feeling a little behind. This hat can also be made in any weight 6 yarn you can meet gauge with to create a hat people can wear outside of holiday season.

Before we go…
As always I hope you all enjoyed today’s pattern, it was quick and fun for me to design, and the yarn I used for it is so extremely soft. It works up super quickly making it something you can bust out quickly to create plenty of holiday presents for all of your family and friends. If you would like another hat that works up quickly and uses a bulky yarn you should go look at my beginner-friendly cozy campfire hat pattern. You can also look at my confetti hat pattern.
