Pink Sky at Night Hat Pattern
When you purchase through links on my site, I may earn an affiliate commission.
Here’s how it works.
My Pink Sky at Night Hat Pattern is available in sizes baby to adult large. This crocheted hat is a quick project that you can make in just a few hours.
To make my Pink Sky at Night Hat you will need Chunky Weight Yarn [5] and both a 5 mm (H) crochet hook (for the hat band/brim) and a 6 mm (J) crochet hook for the hat body.
My Pink Sky at Night Hat Pattern is available in sizes Newborn, 0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-12 months, 12-24 months, small child (3-5 years), child (6-10 years), teen, adult (medium) and adult (large).
I designed this hat to reach the base of your earlobe and to have a little bit of slouch. It is tapered to fit the shape of your head and if you’d like to make it more slouchy it is very easy to do! Just work the repeat section an additional time (or two) to add some extra hat height.

The Yarn I used
For my Pink Sky at Night Hat I used 3.2 oz (90 g) and 150 yds (137 m) of King Cole Shadow Chunky yarn, in the shade Fire Glow (4005).
King Cole yarn is available from your local yarn shop, or online at the links in my post below.
Shadow Chunky Yarn is 100% Premium Acrylic and I love the shades that were blended for each ball of yarn. There aren’t any significant color stripes or chunks as the shades flow into each other so perfectly. The colors have a bit of a watercolored look to them and there is a soft lustre to the stitches when the light hits them.
This yarn is great for winter wearables and bonus! it is machine washable and dryable too.
