It’s not too late to whip up one of these quick and easy Crochet Christmas Ornament Hats! A simple project for beginners and a great last minute gift idea. This pattern that makes a nice set (I am thinking matching family photos, twins or multiples, and perfect for siblings). Crochet them in any color and feel free to add some embellishments! How about sparkles, sequins, or surface crochet a design? Lots of possibilities! This was inspired by my Dreidel Hat and pretty much uses the exact same pattern. I love how crochet allows me to turn one design into something else with just a couple tweaks!
Materials:
– Worsted weight yarn. I used Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice in Scarlet red, Fern green, and Silver Gray.
– Size H or I (5.5MM) crochet hook. I recommend an H hook but I couldn’t find mine so I ended up using an I hook for the ones pictured.
– Tapestry needle
– Poly Fill Fiber stuffing
Abbreviations:
SC = Single Crochet
SC Decrease = Single Crochet Decrease
DC = Double Crochet

Oh my gosh! These are so cute!!! My list of things to make before Christmas keeps getting longer instead of shorter because of projects like this that I HAVE to make! Jaime @ JaimeOfAllTrades.blogspot.com
ok that is just the cutest! 🙂 i want to crochet soooo bad! 🙂
What a cute idea – thanks for sharing!
hilarious that you have the same problem I do–in which project bag did I hide my favorite hook??
Fabulous pattern–I'm soooo glad I found your blog!!!
Cute idea, but I don't know if I have enough courage have to wear this hat. With a little bit of change this kan also be a gorgeous teapot cozy. Anyway, thanks for designing and sharing the pattern.
Dear greetings, Margaret
Adorable

I must be doing something wrong! My “Teen/Adult” hat fits my almost 9 month old… haha I’m trying to make 3 for holiday pictures, One for Dad, Daughter, and Myself. Thanks SO SO much for sharing your pattern!!!
Adorable pattern. I used a size “J” hook. I made the child size pattern for my granddaughter that is 14 months. (Toddler pattern, way too small). I made the teen size pattern for my other granddaughter that is age 3. (the child pattern was way too small for her). They don’t have big heads either. I used silver satin rat tail (that you can crochet) to make the ornament hanger piece. I found the pattern instructions run very small.

Still time to make plenty before Christmas.
Hi!! I Love this hat! I makeing them to donate to a children’s hospital. I am at the point of making the silver top and I’m confused. Which end is sewed to the hat??
Thank you,
Charlotte G
Love this pattern!! But I’m confused about which side of the silver top to attach to the hat. Do you attach the magic circle side or the side you finished up with.
Thank you,
Charlotte
Thanks so much for sharing such clever idea. I love it.
Thank you for sharing. Very clever addition to a simple hat. Love it.
Love it, made my own tonight, don’t know how to post photo.
Daughter, and Myself. Thanks SO SO much for sharing your pattern!!!
Good I love post
Love this pattern. Does the chain 2 count as one of the double crochets? Like would it be included in the 22 double crochets in round 2?
Little confused on the silver top part. Do you turn it inside out to fill then on row #6 where it says sc decrease untill closed im coming up with a odd stitch help please. Love this pattern.
A video tutorial would be great for the silver top.
Thank you for sharing the pattern.
How do you see the silver top on so neatly? Mine looks very amateurish.
To answer some of the questions: the chain 2 never counts as a dc in her patterns unless she specifies otherwise. The magic circle side of the ornament piece is visible in her pictures. You sew the end side (the end of the last row completed) to the hat with a whip stitch. Try to follow the circular pattern of the middle of the second row of the hat.
Just finished my first two hats. So fast and easy! Making 2 more!
OMG! Striped turned out adorable!
Totally had fun making these hats! Made 4 for Christmas and very easy to follow pattern. Thanks for posting!
Visible in her pictures
Hi, this hat is adorable in the picture. But I am having a problem and can’t believe it’s just me! Don’t you need to decrease while making the hat itself? No matter what I do it doesn’t look like a Christmas ball. It looks more like a disc! My count is correct but it is not rounding out. Please help me I really want to make this for grandson who is due any day.
Thank you!!
Thanks for the pattern. Can’t wait to make these. Is there a tension to follow as I crochet loosely?
Love this crochet idea. Can’t wait to make some for my family.
