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.
