Christmas Trees in a Row Crochet Hat

I’ve got another “in a row” hat to add to the collection… this time featuring the cutest little trees! These adorable evergreens are spaced just right, creating a tiny forest that feels festive enough to wear all season long. Whether you’re in the mountains on a ski trip, strolling through holiday lights, sipping cocoa, or heading to a party, this hat is the perfect cozy accessory.

I’m using the brand-new Red Heart With Love LOW PILL yarn—available now on Yarnspirations!
And these colors couldn’t be a better match for this design: Jolly Berry, White, and Forest Green.

If you’re lookin’ for soft, strong, and made-to-last, Red Heart With Love LOW PILL is your new go-to. It has all the cozy charm and rich color you’ve always loved, now with a fancy low-pill twist—so your stitches stay smooth and your hat stays looking great even after the wash-and-wear of winter adventures.

Red Heart with Love Low Pill Yarn and Super Soft yarn details:

• Ball Size: 100 g / 3.5 oz, 157 m / 171 yds
• Weight: #4 Medium Worsted
• Content: 100% low-pill acrylic
• Care: Machine wash (max 104°F / 40°C), delicate cycle. Tumble dry low. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean.

Sizing: This hat pattern is available in four sizes!
Because each tree motif takes 4 rows and covers a 5-stitch width, the “tree stripe” ended up larger than my previous “in a row” hats. I adjusted the stitch counts so each size has an even multiple of 5 stitches. Ensuring every forest wraps perfectly around the hat.

Materials:
– Red Heart with Love Low Pill yarn: Colors Jolly Berry, White, and Forest Green. I also used a bit of the black yarn for the tree trunk. You could continue to use the forest green for the trunk if you’d prefer not to add in another color. This yarn does not come in brown. I was able to easily make the two hats shown in the photos with one skein of each. I probably have enough left for a 3rd hat!

Add a faux fur pom-pom to the top of each hat! I love these white ones with an elastic loop that makes it easy to attach to top of the hat by stitching them on with a long strand of yarn and your tapestry needle.
