Velvet Crochet Hat – Free Crochet Pattern

If you are looking for a velvet crochet hat pattern that is easy and fast to crochet, then this is the one for you. It is the perfect to wear on the ski slope or to keep your head warm when the chill is too much. Scroll to the bottom of this post to find the pattern in the Children’s to Adult extra small size. You can purchase an ad free pdf copy that includes all sizes from 7yr to Adul XL at ETSY or RAVELRY.

I may use affiliate links in this post. This won’t cost you a thing, but will and can help my small business. This will give me an opportunity to purchase more yarn, fabric and craft supplies.

You will find a free crochet pattern in 7yr/XS for this  Boston Velvet Hat at the end of this post. Of course you can purchase the complete pattern that includes all sizes at Etsy, Ravelry or Love Crafts Shop.


This is the hat I would wear if I would ever go sledding.

Here on “My Side Of The Mountain” sledding excursions consists of a large gathering of folks. If a tractor inner tube is available, you know it’s going to be a long night. A large bon fire is built and then you try to get as many people as possible on that inner tube, for an intense ride down the hill. Sometimes folks fall off when an unforeseen bump is hit on the trail. I’m a little too old for those excursions now…so I just leave it to the younger folks.

Isn’t that fluffy Mop Pom too cute?

I used the tutorial that Marly Bird has on her youtube channel. It’s a great tutorial and using a button to secure the pom means that you can easily remove it when you wash the hat. Nobody wants a messy pom, and this technique will help you keep it nice, neat and fluffy!

Make a crochet velvet hat for the guys!

Crochet it in a dark color and leave off the Mop Pom. They will love it and it will be so warm.

There are many different velvet yarns to choose from, but one of my favorites is Bernat’s Velvet Yarn.

You can find it at Yarnspirations.com  There are 20 shades to choose from. It is a 5 chunky gauge and it is recommended that you hand wash your items to keep the yarn looking fresh and new. It is 100% polyester and each ball size is 300g / 10.5 oz, 288 meters / 315 yards


I recently found a different variety of velvet yarn from Bernat, and it is called Crushed Velvet. I am excited to make a Boston Velvet hat using this yarn.

The colors are wonderful. Yarnspirations says that the yarn is a luxuriously soft variegated yarn designed to create velvety soft multi-tonal projects. Its bulky weight stitches up quickly and and when worked together with Bernat Velvet, it creates a beautiful multi-textural look. It is a 100% polyester yarn and each ball size is 300 g/10.5 oz, 288 m/315 yds.

Make a Floppy Tassel Pom Pom and attach it with a button just as Marly Bird demonstrates in a video.

The link is below. It’s super easy but a word of caution. When trimming your tassel, make sure to hold it over a trash can and then shake it outside a little bit to knock off the extra lint.

    I have never tried velvet yarn on a hat. I might need to try that yarn on this.

      I like this yarn, but if your tension is loose, it can worm on you when you wash it. I recommend hand washing, without a lot of scrubbing, then lay flat to dry.
