During the winter, one of my favorite things to knit is hats. Not only can knit hats be made in just a night or two, but they also make great gifts for family members and friends. Can I tell you a little secret? I’m kind of a sucker for a quick-knit patterns, so I suppose my love affair with hats was meant to be. It’s just as well, because even though the calendar is nearing spring, no one told the Chicago weather! So before it to beat that late-winter chill, I recommend that a good hat knitting session is in order! That’s where this fun selection of free knitting pattern comes in. After just a few minutes of searching, I already found a few patterns I can’t wait to cast on. I hope you enjoy looking through this little hat round up as much as I loved putting it together. And remember, if you’ve written any patterns that you’d like for AllFreeKnitting to link to, just submit a link here. We love showing off patterns from talented readers like you!

Love knitting and love learning how to knit new things. Thanks for the patterns. They are cute!
I am retired after serving in the Navy for 30 years, so I found myself with all this free time. My new hobby for the past two years has been knitting hats and scarves for Veterans, and then sending them to various Veterans associations throughout the country. In total I have made 211 hats, so I am always looking for new patterns to challenge myself. Thank you for your site, Donna
Not a fan of pompoms. I know some people really like them but I don’t. And I really hate to make them.
Also not a big fan of pom poms. I think they look cute on children but really silly on most adults. Also, they tend to get really ratty looking when washed!
Nay, Pom poms should be on only little kids stuff and even then I hesitate!
I like pom poms but if they are little, they look really cool on adult womens’ hats. Too big does make them look kiddified
I love the earflap hats! All my kids’ friends want these. Thanks!
love the earflap hats, thank you so much for the pattern.
I’m really not good at making pompoms and think they’re OK for kids, but old fashioned for adults. However, the stuffed knitted pompoms are easy and cute.
Pompoms are OK for kids but I’m not really good on making them although, I’m a longtime knitter but they never come out the way they should.
I love the earflap hats!
Why cant I find the free Patterns for the 7 free Hats?

The Not too too Beret that was posted today is somewhat what I am looking for. Do you have any hat patterns that are a little more dressy. I am a beginner in knitting. I guess it depends on the yarn that is being used to make it fancier. I would like something that sits on the back of the head more. Not so much on the fore-head.Thank you
I think Kristen’s photographs are protected by copyright. Did you ask her permission before re-posting them here?
How can I connect for The 7 Free Knit Hat Patterns
So How can I get these 7 free knit hat patterns? If I submitted this request before I apparently either lost the answer or the answer was never given to me. I am really interested in the ear-flap hat (Pattern for this) so I can knit for my grandchildren. Thank you
No pom poms unless on little hats for kids. I want to say thank you to Donna Kelly for what you do. I know the Vets appreciate your time and caring work.
Knitting is not only therapeutic for us but for others as well.
Pom-poms may look cute on some hats, booties, etc., but I don’t like them.
Love pom-poms have you seen the Olympics they’re all wearing pom-poms on their hats they’re adorable young and old so there !
Do you have any loom knitting patterns that you could post for us?
Do you have a pattern for an adult beanie hat with a scarf attached in a simple pattern stitch?
