Free & Easy to Make Puff Stitch Crochet Hat!

This puff stitch beanie would make the perfect chilly weather accessory. Topped with a faux fur pom which gives it the extra touch it needs to be trendy!

The Yarn That’s Perfect for a Puff Stitch Beanie

To make my beanie, I used my favorite yarn, Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice in Wheat. I love the wheat color because of the different variations of tones in this colorway. It makes this yarn a little more eye-catching than most. You’ll like it!

Promise!

I decided to use some faux-fur key chains as my pom for the top of my hat, and all I had to do was remove the key chain part for it to be the perfect hat topper!

Puff Stitch Crochet Hat Pattern That Uses Simple Stitches

I started the pattern by crocheting the band with simple single crochets and half double crochets in the back loops to create the ridged look. I held the band together and sl st it together to make it one piece.

I then chained 1 and did 56 half double crochets evenly along the top of the band to start my main hat pattern.

This pattern is for an intermediate crocheter because of the puff stitch, but if you are beginner willing to try something a little harder and give this puff stitch beanie crochet pattern a try!

With 12″-15″ tail and yarn needle, weave in and out of stitches along top of hat
Continue weaving around until you reach the first stitch
Hold the center of the hat together while bringing the yarn needle across to the opposite side. Hold opposite ends of the hat together and bring yarn needle across again closing up the top of the hat.
Pull yarn tail to secure the top of the hat. Leave a long end to attach the pom pom of your choice.

Adding Pom Poms

To complete your hat, you can now attach a pom of your choice if you chose to!  I used some faux fur ones I found at a Michaels store near me. They were actually keychains but came with removable chains so I was able to use the pom as a hat topper and the keychains can be used again later!

Faux Fur Pom Pom Keychains are great as beanie toppers!

If you can’t find the faux fur poms, I suggest using a clover pom maker to make a yarn pom topper instead. They are super easy to use, and even my kids love making pom poms with them, which is why I have so many! 🙂

To attach the pom use the leftover yarn end from the top of your hat to secure the pom-pom. Remember to weave in the yarn ends throughout the hat with a yarn needle, then you are finished with your pom hat!

You are done!

    clarification, as i am an advanced beginner (i did your unicorn scarf!) — you say 56 stitches evenly spaced (main hat, row 1)– so i need to stitch 2 HDC in the same spaces sometimes around to make 56? bec there are only 38 stitches/rows from the band, right?

    for row 2 of main hat, 56 HDC but that means 2 HDC in each puff stitch?
    Thanks! might make this to match the unicorn scarf for my 11 year old..

      Hi,

      For the first row of the hat you will need 1 hdc for each sc and 2 hdc’s for each hdc of the band for a total of 56 hdc’s.

      If you have any more questions please feel free to ask.
