๐ŸŽ… Santa Hat Crochet Pattern

A full construction plan, not just a motif: every round is computed by the stitch engine and verified before publishing โ€” the finished object comes out the size the title promises.

๐Ÿ“ Adult 54cm head: cone โ‰ˆ11cm tall off the crown, fold-over band, pompom tip

Finished size & materials

๐Ÿ“ Adult 54cm head: cone โ‰ˆ11cm tall off the crown, fold-over band, pompom tip. Written for worsted (category 4) yarn and a 5.0-5.5mm hook at โ‰ˆ0.7cm per single crochet. Gauge decides the final size โ€” hook a small swatch first and adjust the hook, not the stitch counts. Every round below is computed by the stitch engine: if a round says it starts at 72 and ends at 66, those numbers reconcile.
