Free Doll Santa Hat Crochet Pattern

Fashion doll Santa hat description

This quick and easy free doll Santa hat crochet pattern is designed to fit 12″ teen style dolls.

As you may know I’ve been designing crochet items for my daughters doll house. However, with Christmas fast approaching I couldn’t resist making a Christmas time play set for them.

In addition this little doll Santa hat is part of the collection. In conclusion it really is a fun doll accessory to help kids to get excited about Christmas.

The crochet pattern will help you create a little Santa hat suitable for 12” fashion dolls. To begin, the Santa hat had a stripy texture while the cuff has a bobbly texture.

Additionally the Christmas hat is folded down and sewn back after completion. Then it’s topped with a tiny little Pom-pom, surprisingly made using a dinner fork!

How to crochet a santa hat for dolls

The doll Santa hat crochet pattern is beginner friendly and is really fast and easy to make. To make the Christmas hat I used DK (weight 3) yarn and a 3.5mm crochet hook. Additionally, to make the pompom I used a dinner fork to get the size small enough to fit a doll.

Don’t forget to do a gauge swatch and check your tension if you want the hat to hit your doll. There is very basic sewing involved to complete the pattern.
