Yarn Recommended for a Santa Hat
For the ultimate crochet Santa hat, we highly recommend using WeCrochet Mighty Stitch worsted yarn, worked with 2 strands held together. This yarn is truly a crafting superhero! Made with 20% Superwash Wool and 80% Acrylic, it combines the best of both worlds – the warmth and softness of wool with the easy care of acrylic.
The Mighty Stitch yarn is perfect for creating garments, accessories, and blankets, adding a touch of luxury to your projects. With its wide range of gorgeous hues, you’ll have no trouble finding the perfect festive colour for your Santa hat. And let’s not forget about its buttery, soft texture, ensuring a comfortable and cozy fit. So why not let Mighty Stitch come to the rescue and bring your crochet Santa hat to life? It’s the perfect yarn for turning your holiday vision into reality.
For the brim of your Santa hat and pompom, we recommend using WeCrochet Fable Fur yarn. This fluffy and luxurious yarn will add a touch of whimsy and softness to your hat’s brim. Made with 100% polyester, Fable Fur is incredibly soft and creates a realistic fur-like texture. The fluffy texture of Fable Fur will give your Santa hat an extra special touch, making it truly stand out.

Substituting Yarn
Yarn substitution is a valuable skill for crocheters, allowing you to achieve your desired results even when the original yarn specified in a pattern is unavailable.
In the Bulky & Quick Santa Crochet Hat pattern, Mighty Worsted Weight #4 yarn is used and doubled to create a bulky weight yarn. However, if you prefer, you can substitute it with other light-worsted yarns and double them as well. Alternatively, you can opt for a bulky weight yarn and use just a single strand.
I have compiled a list of suitable alternatives below to aid you in the yarn substitution process. It is crucial to conduct a gauge swatch using your selected yarn and adjust your hook size accordingly to achieve the pattern’s specified gauge for accurate sizing. This step is vital to ensure that the final hat turns out as intended and fits perfectly.
Please refer to the substitution list and carefully follow the recommended gauge swatching process to achieve the best possible results with your chosen yarn.

Construction
The Santa hat is worked from the top down. Start by creating a magic ring and gradually increase each round until you reach the desired size. After completing the necessary increase rounds, continue working the non-increase rounds to maintain the hat’s size. Finish by crocheting the brim in fur yarn. For the pom pom, use the fur yarn to create a rectangle, seam it into a ball shape, and stuff it with polyester fiberfill. Attach the pom pom securely to the top of the hat.
Gauge
Hat: 10 sts and 9 rows equal to 4″ with 7mm hook in esc
