crochet moose hat

To begin your moose hat, gath­er your mate­ri­als, includ­ing worsted weight yarn in the col­ors of your choice, a size J (6 mm) cro­chet hook, and a tapes­try nee­dle. This pat­tern can be cus­tomized to your lik­ing, allow­ing you to cre­ate dif­fer­ent col­or com­bi­na­tions for a tru­ly unique result. You can add a faux fur pom pom for extra cozi­ness and style.

Start by cre­at­ing a foun­da­tion chain that match­es your head size. Use the basic stitch­es such as the sin­gle cro­chet (sc), half dou­ble cro­chet (hdc), and dou­ble cro­chet (dc) to shape the hat height to your pref­er­ence. Feel free to check our cro­chet hat size chart for ref­er­ence.
