Mosaic Hat Pattern For Beginners

Feeling intimidated by mosaic crochet? You’ve come to the right place! Mosaic crochet is easier than it seems and is a fantastic way to add color work to your projects. This crochet hat pattern is designed with the overlay mosaic technique and features a simple mosaic design, making it perfect for beginners!

What is Mosaic Crochet?

Mosaic crochet is a technique for creating colour work or designs within your crochet work. It’s achieved by working drop-down double crochets, also known as mosaic double crochets, into stitches from the previous row. Each row is completed in a single color, with the yarn changed or cut at the end of each row.

Finishing:

Fasten off with a long tail for weaving. Using a yarn needle, thread the tail through every other stitch along the top of the hat. Gently pull the yarn to tighten and close the opening. Weave the yarn around the stitches to secure the end, then back in the opposite direction. This will ensure a snug finish and prevent any unravelling.

Pom Pom

Make a yarn pom pom or attach a faux fur pom pom. Sew snap to the top of the hat. Blow-dry pom to fluff and snap to the top of the hat. Use a 5-6″ pompom for child and adult hats and a 4.3″ pom pom for baby hats. Hats are shown with a 0.75″ x 2.5″ personalized faux leather tag. Attach with leather rivets.

Washing Instructions

Before washing, remove the pompom. Gently hand wash the hat using a mild detergent or wool wash. Afterwards, carefully lay it flat to dry.
