Learn how to crochet a hat for men in this step by step tutorial. I created this pattern to match the Crocheted Man’s Scarf tutorial I shared a while ago. While both patterns have a masculine look to them, because of the choice of yarn and the stitch used in the pattern, this hat a scarf set could be worn by both men and women.
The wonderful thing about this tutorial on how to crochet a hat for men, is that you can use any yarn you like! I will show you how you can make this hat to fit any size head, so the pattern is quite suited for any yarn, any hook size or any person.
The scarf tutorial is suited for beginners (with a bit of experience), but the hat pattern does require a bit more crochet knowledge. If you are new to crochet (and I do have a Beginner Crochet Series), I do recommend that you start with the scarf tutorial before taking on this hat project. It would be helpful to be proficient with the crochet stitch used to create this design.
I used the remaining ball of yarn, combined with the accent yarn used from the scarf tutorial. In total, you will need between 180 and 200 yards of yarn (165 to 180 meters), to crochet this hat for men. In the scarf tutorial, I give you the option to crochet an accent border around the scarf, or leave it as is. If you choose not to add this border to the scarf, then two full balls of the Lion Brand Ferris Wheel yarn would be just enough to make both the hat and scarf. But I think the accent yarn adds a nice touch!
The supplies you will need for this project are:
- 180 to 200 yards (165 to 180 meters) number 4 medium weight yarn
- I used Lion Brand Ferris Wheel in Morning Java – 2 balls
- and Bernat Premium Yarn in Dark Grey Heather – partial ball (this yarn is hard to find online, I found mine at Walmart Canada and Michael’s Canada)
- 5 mm (H-8 US) crochet hook
- 4.5 mm (7 US) crochet hook (optional)
- Stitch markers
- Darning needle
- Scissors
You can see in the image above how I am using two different yarns to create the hat pattern. The brim is made with the complementary yarn by Bernat, and the body of the hat is made with the self-striping yarn by Lion Brand. I have created a video tutorial on how to crochet this hat for men and you can watch it here or on YouTube.
I know some of you prefer a written pattern and I do apologize that I am not able to offer written directions at this time. I hope you enjoy this tutorial and make both the hat and scarf, as they really are such a lovely set…and would be perfect for anyone to wear!
