Santa Hat Crochet Pattern

In order to complete the Pom-Pom Snowman with a beautiful hat, I crochet a Santa Hat for the snowman ornament to wear. The Santa Hat Crochet Pattern is built from easy and quick-to-make single crochet with continuous rounds and a decrement of stitches.

The pom-pom snowman with this Santa Hat is part of the embellishment I made for my kid’s Christmas Ornament Stocking.

The size of the Santa Hat is 2 3/4″ in height where I crochet it with baby yarn and a 3mm crochet hook. You may upsize it with bulkier yarn and its corresponding crochet hook or downsize it by using lace thread. Add a small pom-pom at the tip of the Santa Hat to complete upon finishing.

Sew a small pom-pom on the tip of the hat. Roll up the end hem to meet the first row of white stitches, and sew some stitches to secure.

Bend the hat so that the tip is pointing sideways, and sew some stitches to secure it in place.
