    Chunky Woodland Hat Crochet Pattern

    A Boat Full of Wool / Etsy

    Here is another chunky unisex crochet hat pattern. This one has more of a classic winter design thanks to the pom-pom on top. It works up super quickly, with only 12 rounds for the largest size, so it is great as a last-minute gift. Despite that, this hat is anything but boring. It uses a combination of front loop only and back loop only stitches to create original ribbing and texture that adds to the coziness while enhancing the design.

    Chunky Ribbed Slouch Hat Free Crochet Pattern

    Chunky Ribbed Slouch Hat Free Crochet Pattern

    Persia Lou

    This crochet winter hat has a few things in common with some of the other designs featured here. It is a crochet slouch hat made with chunky yarn and topped off with an (optional) pom-pom. However, the stitches that are used here create ribbing that goes vertically, in contrast to the horizontal ribbing often seen on crochet hats, and this gives an elongated, elegant look to the design.
