Why Crocheters Love These Patterns
- Each design features soft yarns and simple stitch repeats that are relaxing to crochet.
- The texture and colorwork make every hat visually appealing and cozy to wear.
- You can mix and match the designs to create beautiful handmade sets.
Find all the details for our three featured hat patterns below.
Mardava Shell Stitch Hat
Designed by Pia Thadani of Stitches n Scraps
The Mardava Shell Stitch Hat features the same lovely texture as Pia’s matching cowl. Crocheted with Paintbox Simply Aran yarn in Rich Teal (#64) and Vanilla Cream (#207), this hat highlights the soft shell stitch pattern that gives it warmth and style.
Pia used a 5.5 mm (I) crochet hook to create a comfortable fit and beautiful stitch definition.
This design is both practical and eye-catching, making it a wonderful addition to your handmade hat collection.

Evergreen Mist Hat
Designed by Rhondda Mol of Oombawka Design Crochet
The Evergreen Mist Hat is a soft, textured hat made with puff stitches and double crochet stitches worked in a simple two-round repeat. Crocheted from the top down in one piece using Mary Maxim Tonal Hues yarn (Liquid Mercury) and a 5 mm (H) crochet hook, the tonal silvery-green shades flow beautifully through the stitches.
The pattern includes sizes from baby to adult, and the matching Evergreen Mist Scarf is also available for a complete cozy set.

Autumn Leaves Chunky Beanie
Designed by Amy Ramnarine of The Stitchin’ Mommy
Amy’s Autumn Leaves Chunky Beanie is warm, soft, and quick to make. It’s crocheted with Caron Tea Cakes yarn in the Smoked Fruit colorway, which combines rich autumn tones of purple, gold, and grey. The bulky yarn works up fast and gives this beanie a cozy, comfortable fit.
This pattern is perfect for cool-weather days and makes a great handmade gift.
