Wrap yourself in a touch of nostalgia with this hand-crocheted pilot hat — a playful nod to classic aviator style. With its snug ear flaps, soft texture, and timeless silhouette, this hat brings both warmth and whimsy to chilly days. Perfect for dreamers, travelers, and anyone who loves the feeling of handmade comfort.

For each size, the smaller hook (4.5mm) will give a more snug fit. Please make sure you check gauge before choosing the right hook and size of the pattern.

This pattern is written using the US crochet terms. You’ll need to have basic understanding of crochet terms and the ability to read crochet chart, as it is quite cumbersome to write out detailed stitches line by line. There is a tutorial on key steps in making the hat in size S, and it is applicable to both sizes. Please check it out at:
