    Crochet an Easy Fold over Brim Hat
    Crochet the Suzette Hat - Free Pattern
    This post includes affiliate links.

    This free crochet hat pattern is called the Suzette Hat. The pattern uses the Suzette Stitch and has a fold over brim with a pom-pom on top.

    When a fan sends me a request, I usually add it to my long list of projects to crochet and work on. But sometimes, certain projects need to be made right away. This is what happened with this Suzette Hat. She requested a crochet hat pattern, bottom up, with a fold over brim and the Suzette stitch.

    It not only sounded super easy and fun, but also needed to be made quickly due to a medical necessity for a family member of hers. This fan has been extremely supportive of my website and her story was so heartfelt, I had no other choice. Besides! It’s crochet and yarn and a hat. The 3 most amazing and fun things in my life (excluding my family, of course).

    As I love crocheting and designing hats, I got right to it and had it done in less than a day. And guess what?! This is for sure my most favorite crochet hat pattern I ever designed. It is cozy and comfy and so easy and fast to make.

    Pom-pom Topper

    I added a homemade yarn pom-pom on top of that to provide a special extra touch that just makes this Suzette Hat come together and complete. Actually, I can’t imagine wearing this hat without it now.

    Suzette Hat Pattern

    I wrote the Suzette crochet hat pattern in such a way, that you can easily decide for yourself whether or not you want to have a fold-over brim (which I highly recommend as it keeps your ears warmer) or a simple brim.

    Crochet Suzette Hat

    How to crochet the Suzette Hat

    Materials:

    • Premier Yarn Everyday Collection in color: Purple (1 skein)
    • I Love this Yarn from Hobby Lobby in the color:  Purple Gradient (1 skein)
    • 5.0 mm hook
    • Pom-pom maker (used largest size)
    • scissors
    • tapestry needle

    Stitches used (US terms):

    Click HERE to learn these basic stitches

    • ch = chain
    • sc = single crochet
    • blo = back loop only
    • dc = double crochet
    • Suzette stitch

    Gauge:

    3 row x 2 suzette sts =1 square inches

    Final Size:

    Adult size: 9 (diameter) x 8.5 (height) inches (without pom-pom)

    Instructions:

    This pattern is written for an adult head, but it can easily be adjusted to different head sizes. Just follow this TUTORIAL. Also be sure to check out the tutorial for the Suzette Stitch as that is the stitch used for this hat. I also have a COMPLETE Video Tutorial below, to show you how to crochet each section of the hat.

    Make a chain of 20 (10 if you want a normal no fold over brim) in purple

    R1: crochet in the back bump: starting from the 2nd ch from the hook, 1 sc in each ch, turn

    R2-70: 1 sc in the blo in each st, turn (19 or 9 sts) (The number of rows depends on the head size you are making the hat for)

    Brim for Suzette Hat Crocheted

    Now fold the rectangle in half and slip stitch the ends together. You finished the brim. You are now going in rounds around the edge of one side of the brim.

    Making the Brim for the Suzette Hat - Free Crochet pattern

    R1: crochet evenly 64 sc’s all around, sl st to the first st (This number would be different for any other head sizes, but for the Suzette Stitch make sure it’s a multiple of 2.)

    Change color to the purple gradient yarn

    You will go in continuous rounds now, so use a stitch marker.

    R2 -19: *1 dc and 1 sc in the same stitch, skip 1 st, repeat from * all around

    The number of rounds depend on the head size (remember that the brim counts in height).

    Suzette Stitch on Fold Over Brim Hat

    Once you finish, cut about 12 inches of yarn and then weave the yarn in and out every 1/2 – 1 inch. Then pull tightly to close the hole. Fasten off and weave in the ends.

    The Break-Through Moment: To add a pom-pom or not?

    Well, I added a pom-pom. I used my pom-pom maker to make it and I love it. I used the same yarn for the pom-pom as I did for the brim which makes the hat come together and feel complete.

    But do you need one? No, you can choose to leave it off. In fact, you can even make this hat larger in height and create a slouchy Suzette Hat. If you do, please show me, I would love to see it.

    Anyways, I would not recommend either a yarn pom-pom or a faux fur pom-pom for the Fold Over Brim Suzette Hat. Add a pom-pom or leave it; it’s totally up to you.

Not only do you have some amazing ideas… But it’s you as a person that I can relate to. You’re kind, generous, and probably take things to heart more than you should (I do that too lol)… But you’re awesome! …”
