Every kid needs a snowman hat. Not a hat that just says “winter” — a hat that actually looks like a snowman, and makes them walk into school feeling like the coolest person in the building.
The Happy Snowman Hat by Tianess of 4 Kids and a Hobby is that hat. It is cheerful, quick to make, and sized for children ages 1 to 6. Whether you are making it as a Christmas gift or just because you saw the pattern and could not help yourself, it is a great little project.

Tips Before You Start
- Red Heart Super Saver is a great budget yarn for kids’ hats because it is durable and washes well.
- Safety eyes give a cleaner look than buttons and stay on better for young kids — just make sure to attach them securely before closing any seam.
- This hat makes a great stocking stuffer or last-minute Christmas gift. The crochet time is short enough that you can make several in a single evening.
- Sizes cover ages 1 to 6, so you can make a whole set for siblings.
