Where to Purchase “24 Crochet Hats” book:
Personalized autographed copies and digital ebooks are available here on KristinOmdahl.com:
Crochet hats are one of the most universal symbols of handmade wearables. They make fantastic gifts because everyone can wear one. Hats are wonderful projects for beginners because the time investment is minimal; and that makes a hat pattern a wonderful resource for building skills and trying new techniques.
In this collection, I designed two dozen crochet hats in a wide variety of crochet techniques and offer the patterns in a wide range of sizes. I would love for this book to become your go-to resource for making hats for anyone and for building your crochet skills. Maybe hairpin lace in the round is new to you – if you make the crown motif in the Nina Hat (p. 68) you will now know how to make a circular motif in hairpin lace that you can use for other projects.
Maybe you would like to make a matching cowl or scarf for any of the hats worked in a side-to-side manner such as the Alexa (p.19), Flora (p.31), Jamie (p.41), Milo (p.64), you could simply omit the steps of joining into a tube or cinching the crown shut.
Hats are quick projects that make wonderful gifts. Keeping a stash of hats on hand means you’ll always be prepared for unexpected gifting occasions. If you are interested in selling them, hat projects are relatively low in labor costs.
Another interesting aspect of a hat book with a wide range of sizes is that you can make a collective gift for a group: a ‘mommy (or daddy) and me’ gift set Abigail (p.15), Reina (p.81); a coordinating older sibling and matching baby hat; or maybe a matching set for a whole family as a holiday gift.
I hope you enjoy the many facets of this collection as much as I do. Let us make time to create, share and inspire – today and every day.
xoxo, Kristin

These beautiful hats are simple to make and coordinate well together. Each one is made in a different weight yarn with a different gauge. They make an adorable mommy & me gift set but are great as stand-alone hats, too!
