This is a crochet version of my bestselling knitting pattern. It’s made for a head size of about 20”-24”, which fits most adult men. Crocheted with wool in a neutral color, this pattern makes a perfect warm, no-frills winter hat. It’s also pretty easy and quick to make, with top-down construction and minimal shaping.
