This is a free St Patrick’s day crochet hat pattern you can make to celebrate this special day. It is easy and fast to make.
It is the time of the year again: St. Patrick’s Day preparation.
I always liked preparing for holidays, no matter which one.
And St. Patrick’s Day is all about greens, golds and clovers.
Well, I decided to combine all these into one by creating the St. Patrick’s Beanie.
Furthermore, the stitch I used for the beanie is a lacy stitch. It is called the Irish Fan stitch, how appropriate. 🙂
Also, I used a different way of creating the brim by using front-post single crochet, which makes the brim knit-like. Very pretty.

St Patrick’s Day crochet hat pattern details
After creating the beanie, I also attached a 4-leaf clover. This is to give it the extra special effect making it look even more like a St. Patrick’s Beanie. Doesn’t it look cute?
For all the stitches and the 4-leaf clover I created a video tutorial to make it even easier to make this beanie. I hope helps everyone:-)
I have the pattern uploaded on both Ravelry and Etsy.
The link to pdf (ad-free) version of this pattern is all the way on the bottom of this pattern. 🙂

The pattern is designed for a adult/teen head. But can be adjusted to make it bigger and smaller as the pattern includes a specific stitch repeat.
This can be made more or less of to change the size of the St Patrick’s Day crochet hat.

Stitches used (click for video tutorial):
NOTE: These instructions are for a teen/adult head. But you could make it smaller or larger by just stopping earlier or extent it more.
You can also use it as a messy bun/ponytail beanie by closing the hole temporally or permanently only a little bit.
If you don’t do it permanently, then you can always change it back and forth.
In order to change the size of the given pattern, the first thing you need to know is the head circumference of the person you are making the hat for.
Furthermore, you will also need to know the height of hat that can be made bigger too. Depending on whether you want the hat to be snuggly on the top of the head or be slouchy (just add more green yarn rows to extent it).
