Free Easy Crochet Hats Pattern for Adult

Active kids will love winter even more, thanks to this toasty crochet balaclava! Designed to cover the head and face, this winter must-have will keep kids warm, protected and in style. You'll work from side to side, in single crochet in the back loop to create a ridged pattern. Then, you'll use short-row shaping to stitch the top of the head. Make it as shown, or choose any kid-pleasing shade of our machine wash and dry Red Heart Super Saver yarn. Since Super Saver gives you well over 100 colors to choose from, you can crochet a balaclava in everyone's favorite color!

    Fun pattern!

    I've made a few of these balaclava's and had no problem following the pattern. A size H hook worked best for me.

    difficult to follow

    Looking at page 2 of 2, the first "next row" does not make sense to me. The part that says working to end of row probably should read at end of row instead of to end of row. Even with that it doesn't make sense to me. Does the photo below the instruction go with it? Maybe more photos would help. How about a finished flat product photo before finishing illustrating long ribs on both sides of the short rows on top and below the face opening?

    Written pattern is awful!!!

    It says beginner, but the pattern is written very badly. I'm sure any beginner would find this terribly upsetting. I'm about halfway through and instructions just keep getting worse and worse!
