Crochet Santa hat

Create a classic handmade Santa hat with a long, softly slouching taper, a white crochet band and a fluffy pom-pom. This festive hat is worked seamlessly from the tip down in continuous rounds, with gradual increases shaping the crown before a short straight section and the band are added.

The pattern includes seven sizes, from baby to adult, with instructions for head circumferences from approximately 35 cm to 60 cm. Choose a size using the wearer’s head measurement. The adult sample measures approximately 38 cm from the tip to the lower edge, 30 cm across the opening when laid flat, and 5 cm deep at the white band.

Skill level: Confident beginner. You should be comfortable working double crochet in continuous rounds, increasing, and using a stitch marker. The pattern starts with a magic ring, with a chain-start alternative also provided.
