crochet heart hat

The heart stitch is the heart of this project. It adds a touch of love and charm to your cro­chet hat. This unique stitch pat­tern is cre­at­ed with sin­gle cro­chets, slip stitch­es, and cre­ativ­i­ty. We’ll show you how to work the heart stitch to make your hat stand out.

Worsted-weight yarn is an excel­lent choice for your heart-shaped hat. It’s ver­sa­tile and read­i­ly avail­able in var­i­ous col­ors, allow­ing you to cre­ate a hat that match­es your style. Remem­ber that you can also play with dif­fer­ent yarn weights to explore hat heights and warmth vari­a­tions.

I made this Heart Stitch Hat for my 4‑year-old daugh­ter with a cir­cum­fer­ence of 20 inch­es around her head. Since I start­ed with the brim, I cre­at­ed this hat with a Hook, sim­i­lar to the messy bun hat. I cre­at­ed a video if you need more assis­tance. If you want to make an Adult size, I would chain 10 for the brim and use an I hook. Take the brim around your head, and when it fits around your ears and meets togeth­er, then stop and fol­low the pat­tern as close as you can, but change the hook size to an I hook and make your brim a bit thick­er with a chain 10. You may need to add a round of DC if you need an over­sized hat than this child hat. If you want to make it small­er for a tod­dler, use a G hook and fol­low as close­ly as pos­si­ble.  I will show you how to cro­chet a heart stitch hat with step-by-step instruc­tions in this video. This is a great begin­ner cro­chet pat­tern that is sure to keep you warm all win­ter! 

Cro­chet is a great way to keep you cozy dur­ing win­ter, and this heart stitch hat is a begin­ner-friend­ly pat­tern that will indeed please. With easy-to-fol­low instruc­tions, you can cre­ate this hat in no time!
