Stay Warm in Style: Free Crochet Hat Patterns for a Cozy Winter

This is one of my fave handmade hats . . . it's so cute. I’ve always loved granny squares – they look so great coming together in this hat.

Allison designed this hat during winter storm Uri (hence the name). Remember all of those power outages in Texas? At least something beautiful was able to come out of it!

This is a great beginner crochet hat project. It is easy and you can finish it in one hour. Feel a sense of accomplishment by finishing your first hat in such a little amount of time!

I love the black yarn (with little flecks of gold) that Alexis used for this pattern. I think it gives it a unique look and makes a fun and quirky hat!

This plaid crochet hat pattern is one of my favorite free crochet hat patterns of all time! I’m totally mad for plaid. Bethany also has boot cuffs, a wreath, arm warmers, pillow, and a variety of hat styles . . . all plaid and all crochet . . . on her site. It’s worthwhile to visit her and check out the patterns.

If you live in an especially cold weather area, this hat with earflaps is the perfect solution. You can choose to make this free crochet pattern in a striped yarn as shown, or a solid color if that’s what you prefer.

Have you ever made a hat and it is too small or too big? This free pattern post gives simple directions to make sure a hat will fit. She also shows how the hat looks with two different weight yarns.

This hat with the bold flower is perfect for both adult women and children. There are a few color variations that you can see on her site, and there’s no limit to what you can do with this! Wouldn’t that crocheted flower look amazing in a variegated yarn?

Can you believe a Christmas ornament inspired this hat? Julie had the inspiration when she pulled out these three colors and thought of an ornament she had crocheted similar to this!

Jenni upgrades a standard crocheted hat by adding a band and a button. I’m kind of obsessed with large buttons, and I feel like you could either make yours the same color or do a contrasting button for a little bit of flair!

This hat works perfectly when the weather isn’t quite so cold – and looks great, too. You will have to register with Lion Brand to get the free pattern, but they have an enormous library (and it’s still free).

I love that Erica used one color yarn for this hat. It makes it easier to see the variety of stitches. And that faux fur pom tops it off perfectly!

A regular crocheted beret gets an upgrade with a super cute bow on one side. I’m all about the bow of course . . . plus the pattern for the bow is separate, so you could really add it to any crochet hat pattern you like.

Don't hide your hair under your hat! With this messy bun hat you can keep your bun (or ponytail in tact while you keep your head warm.

I love the contrasting stripes on this crocheted hat – and it’s totally in my color palette. I need a slouchy kind of hat because this girl has an enormous noggin! :0 There’s even a pattern for matching arm warmers.

You might be looking for a hat that covers your head, but isn't too hot transitioning from outdoors to inside. This is made with baby yarn, so it never gets too hot!

This hat is easy to make, and would look great in both a solid color or a patterned yarn. It’s a great crocheted hat for those with long(er) hair.

The stitching used on this hat looks more complicated than it actually is. In fact, it is a beginner-friendly pattern! You can make it without the sparkly applique, or add a fun piece of your own.

Okay, so you need a bit of crocheting skill for this hat, but it’s still not that hard. It just takes a bit of practice, and the resulting texture is super cool!

This hat has the best of everything – a brim, the puff stitch and a cute buttoned flap on the side. I love it!

This hat looks perfect for going to the coffee shop on a crisp morning. You don’t need anything extra besides the yarn to create the brim! You will have to register with Lion Brand to get the free pattern, but they have an enormous library (and it’s still free).

You might not be Hugh Glass, but that doesn't mean you don't need your ears covered! You can crochet this in ultra soft yarn for a cozy feel.
