Free Hat Patterns
The links on this page are for sewn hats only. There are fabulous patterns available for knitted and crocheted hats, but I don’t do those crafts so I didn’t list them. If you do knit and crochet, take a look here.
FLEECE HAT SEWING LINKS
Fleece hats are all the rage now, so naturally there are a lot of free patterns on the web. For more fleece hats, also look under hats for kids. For more fleece hat patterns, see Free Fleece Hat Patterns
SNOOD HAT SEWING LINKS
Snoods are generally worn only by orthodox jewish women, but lately I have seen other ladies wearing them also.
HEAD SCARF TYING LINKS
A headscarf is the easiest type of hat to make. Just hem a rectangular or triangular piece of fabric and you are finished. Here are some fun ways to wear your new fashion accessory. For more headscarf ideas see How To Tie A Headscarf

Thanks for the patterns! I was looking for a doo rag pattern online and it’s almost impossible.
Thank you for the patterns. I work in a kitchen and was looking for snood patterns to add color for our staff.
Thanks for the information. I am sewing hats for my business. I only want to sell online or at conferences on my time but at least four times a month.
