Crochet Hat(all sizes)

Easy Waffle Stitch Hat: Free Crochet Pattern (Baby to Adult)

Looking for a cozy, textured hat that works for the whole family? The waffle stitch is a classic for a reason—it’s squishy, warm, and looks incredibly professional. Today, I’m sharing my go-to pattern that can be scaled from a tiny newborn size all the way up to an adult large.

Materials You’ll Need

  • Yarn: Double Knit (or any Worsted/DK weight acrylic).
  • Hook: 4.0mm crochet hook.
  • Tools: Tapestry needle, scissors, and a 3-inch (or larger) pom-pom.

Master Size Chart

To keep the waffle texture perfect, your starting chain must be a multiple of 3. Use this chart to determine your starting chains.

Size Head Circumference Starting Chains Total Height
0-3 Months35–38 cm6314 cm
3-6 Months38–41 cm6616 cm
6-12 Months41–45 cm7217 cm
Toddler45–48 cm7819 cm
Child48–52 cm8420 cm
Teen / S Adult52–56 cm9022 cm
M / L Adult56–60 cm9624 cm

The Pattern

1. The Foundation & Brim

Chain the number of stitches required for your size from the chart above. Join with a slip stitch to form a ring, being careful not to twist the chain.

  • Row 1: double Crochet (SC) in the 3rd chain from hook and each chain around.
  • Row 2: Chain 2 (counts as DC). *Front Post Double Crochet (FPDC) in next 2 sts, Back Post Double Crochet (BPDC) in next 2 sts.* Repeat from * to * row.
  • Row 3: Chain 2. *BPDC in the FPDC stitches, FPDC in the BPDC stitches.* Repeat row.

2. The Waffle Stitch Body

  • Row 4: Chain 2. *FPDC in next stitch, Double Crochet (DC) in next 2 stitches.* Repeat from * to * around. Join.
  • Row 5-Finish: Repeat Row 4 until the hat measures approximately 3–4 cm shorter than your desired total height.

3. Decreasing & Finishing

  • Decrease Row 1: Chain 2. *fpdc in fpdc , DC2tog.* Repeat across.
  • Decrease Row 2: Chain 2. *DC2tog, dc* in every stitch across.
  • Decrease Row 3: Chain 2. *DC2tog* in every stitch across.
  • Closing: Fasten off with a long tail. Use a tapestry needle to weave through the top stitches,stitch from sides as well, and attach your pom-pom securely!
