I had such a great response to my roundup of 24 free knitting patterns for pom pom hats that I decided to do a crochet version! This roundup of 24 free crochet patterns for pom pom hats includes slouchy hats, beanies, sack hats, and more. Each one is embellished with a pom pom. This roundup also includes six matching sets with a pom pom hat that coordinates with another accessory, such as a scarf.

I love using my Clover Pom Pom Maker to make my pom poms fluffy and plush. Fiat Fiber Arts shares more Tips and Tricks for Making Pompoms and Tassels (including by hand) in this post. Several of the hats included in this tutorial use faux fur pom poms (available on Lion Brand or Amazon) instead of yarn pom poms.
