This Snowman Hat pattern begins with a foundation chain and works in single crochet stitches, often crocheting in the back loop for added texture. A size J (6 mm) crochet hook is recommended for worsted-weight yarn. If you’re looking for a chunkier option, consider using bulky weight or even super bulky yarn for a warm winter accessory.
