This free Jack-o-Lantern hat crochet pattern for kids comes as a 2-page PDF on US Letter paper. It gives written instructions for the hat, stem, and two vines, plus guidance for cutting and sewing a felt face. The pattern is a practical starting point for a Halloween project.
What the pattern includes
The pattern provides chain counts for the vines: the first vine starts with 12 chains and the second with 15. Finishing steps cover sewing the stem tail, attaching the vines to the hat at the base of the stem, weaving in ends, and cutting a Jack-o'-Lantern face from black craft felt. The stem's tail is sewn through the beginning chains and pulled slightly to increase its curve, which shapes the hat's top.
Printing and using the PDF
Print the PDF at actual size on US Letter paper to keep the proportions as written. Follow the written steps in order, and use the finishing instructions to assemble the hat. Useful if you are making a Halloween hat for a child and want a simple, downloadable guide.
