Well winter is always looming here in MN, and I always have a ton of scrap yarn, so that’s a perfect recipe for making another crochet hat pattern.

I really enjoy making up all my extra yarn into hats to donate to the local non profit that actually gives people what they need, rather than selling it and giving a small percentage of the profits to those in need.

Maybe you’re interested in doing the same. Maybe you just love to give the loved ones gifts, or maybe you just have scrap yarn you can’t bare to waste. Either way, this simple cluster stitch crochet hat pattern is perfect.

Wherever you’re at crochet wise, this crochet hat pattern is a no brainer. Works up fast, don’t need a lot of yarn, it’s easy and super cute!

If you’d like to purchase this crochet hat pattern in an ad free, printable PDF format, it’s available on my
