Darla and Drew wanted Santa Hats they could wear outside…which means you get a free crochet pattern too 🙂

This pattern is designed using Red Heart Super Saver Yarn in 2 colors.

Red Heart Soft does not substitute very well for this design as it is lighter weight and will result in a smaller hat than those specified in the directions below.

I have sized this pattern to fit a variety of head sizes ranging from Baby to Adult.

Since the hat length is extended to be a “Santa Style” hat I combined similar head circumferences; such as toddler and child into one pattern. Why? Well because, the only difference for some sizes is the height of the finished hat – the head circumference itself does not change. Toddler and Child is one such example.

How to Make a PomPom

Notes:

  • leave a 10 inch tail of yarn at the beginning of the brim section to allow you to seam the band (brim) closed once you have completed it
  • do not count the sl st as a stitch unless specified
  • you skip over the ch 2 to work into the first dc of the round BUT you still count the ch 2 as a st (you just do not work into it).

    Hi,
    Please can i just say that this hat is fabulous and my friend who is a postman wants it for work, just one question do i turn at the end of each row or is it a “continued” row like working round and round and not turning so there is no end of the row, does that make sense to you? thank you for the pattern xx

    Hi Marsha, I made the child size hat for my son. It used less than 1 ball of red heart super saver in red. I do not have the specific yardages for the other sizes. None of them use more than 1 ball of the red yarn. All the best, Rhondda

    How many yards of yarn are needed for the adult size?
