Crochet the perfect matching hat to go with your Winter Frost Scarf with this top-down brimmed hat pattern! This free crochet pattern includes sizes for the whole family!

The Yarn

For this month’s Winter Frost Hat pattern, I used Soft Classic™ Solid Yarn by Loops & Threads®. I don’t know if you’ve tried this yarn yet but if you like 100% acrylic yarn I definitely recommend you take a look at this line of yarns at Michaels. I love the colors that they have available and the price-point is fantastic (in Ontario, Canada as I write this post it is *$4.99 CAD). The ball size is generous too!

Soft Classic™ Solid Yarn by Loops & Threads®

  • Medium Worsted Weight Yarn [4]
  • 100% Acrylic
  • Recommended hook size is 5.5 mm (US I-9)
  • Machine wash and dry.
  • Color: Ice Blue

  • Stitch multiple of 4
  • this project is worked in joined rounds
  • Initial ch 3 does NOT count as 1 dc
  • Sl st to join: make a slip stitch to join in the first stitch of the round (for rounds with a ch 3 this means the dc following the ch 3).
  • the first st of each round is worked in the same st as you made your sl st to join
  • to increase the hat height work more repeat rounds.
  • If you’d prefer a hat without the brim, follow the pattern as written and work 1 round of single crochet stitches to edge your finished hat.
  • A tutorial for the horizontal cluster stitch (hcl) can be found at the end of the pattern.
