This Crochet Heart Hat pattern teaches you to make a crochet heart, put it inside granny squares, give the granny squares a nice warm backing, and sew them together to make a cute crochet hat. You will use Single Crochet (sc), Double Crochet (dc), and Triple Crochet (tc) to make the squares, and sew them together with the Mattress Stitch, followed by the finishing touches.

Once you’ve learned to put a back on a granny square like this (and sew them together), let your imagination run wild with ideas. Baby blankets, super warm afghans (closer to blankets), build sweaters and cardigans with squares, and even a warm winter granny square skirt.

The pattern also talks about measuring your own head so the hat fits perfectly.
