How to Make a Crochet Flat Unisex Hat

(Crochet Hat for Men & Women)

✅ Materials Needed:

• Yarn: Medium-weight yarn (Category 4 – worsted). Use wool for warmth or cotton for a lighter hat.

  • Approx. 100–150g depending on size

• Crochet Hook: 5.0 mm (H/8) – or size recommended for your yarn

• Tapestry Needle (for weaving in ends)

• Scissors

• Stitch Marker (optional but helpful)

Pattern Style:

This pattern creates a flat hat, which is made as a rectangle, then sewn together and gathered at the top. Great for unisex fashion — you can easily adjust the size and length.

✨ Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Determine Hat Size

Measure the head circumference and height of the hat. Use this chart as a general reference:

Step 2: Crochet the Flat Panel

Pattern: Ribbed Texture (Stretchy and stylish)

Use Back Loop Only Half Double Crochet (BLO HDC) for a stretchy ribbed look.

1. Foundation Row:

   • Chain (CH) the height of the hat. (e.g., CH 40 for 9” height)

2. Row 1:

   • HDC in the 2nd chain from hook and in each stitch across.

   • Turn your work.

3. Row 2 onward:

   • CH 1, HDC in back loop only (BLO) across.

   • Turn.

4. Repeat until the panel length equals the head circumference (around 21–23 inches or until it comfortably wraps around the head).

Step 3: Seam the Edges

• Fold the panel in half (short sides together).

• Use slip stitches or a tapestry needle to seam the two edges together to form a tube.

Step 4: Gather the Top

• Thread a long piece of yarn through your tapestry needle.

• Weave the yarn around the top edge of the tube (one round of running stitch).

• Pull tight to cinch the top closed.

• Secure and knot tightly.

• Optionally, add a pom-pom or button on top.

Step 5: Finishing

• Weave in all loose ends with the tapestry needle.

• Block lightly if desired (especially for cotton yarn).

• Try it on — done!

Customization Tips

• Add color: Use stripes or color blocks.

• Add brim: Fold up the bottom for a cuffed beanie look.

• Change stitches: Try single crochet or double crochet for different textures.

• Pom-pom: Add one on top for style!

‍‍ Perfect For:

• Men, women, teens — unisex and stylish.

• Gift-giving, markets, winter accessories.

• Beginners looking to master simple stitches with a functional project.
